We make our idea explicit by constructing a recurrence protocol for the 3-qubit W state. Noisy W states resulting from typical decoherence can be directly purified in a few steps, if their initial fidelity is larger than a threshold. For general input mixed states, we observe distillations to hierarchical fixed points, i.e., not only to the W state but also to the 2-qubit Bell pair, depending on their initial entanglement.5 pages, 6 eps figures; final versionQuantum PhysicsDistillation of multipartite entanglement by complementary stabilizer measurementstext
