Abstract: A concern has been expressed that ``the Jaynes principle can produce fake entanglement [R. Horodecki et al., Phys. Rev. A {�f 59}, 1799 (1999)]. In this paper we discuss the general problem of distilling maximally entangled states from $N$ copies of a bipartite quantum system about which only partial information is known, for instance in the form of a given expectation value. We point out that there is indeed a problem with applying the Jaynes principle of maximum entropy to more than one copy of a system, but the nature of this problem is classical and was discussed extensively by Jaynes. Under the additional assumption that the state $h{o}^{(N)}$ of the $N$ copies of the quantum system is exchangeable, one can write down a simple general expression for $h{o}^{(N)}$. We show how to modify two standard entanglement purification protocols, one-way hashing and recurrence, so that they can be applied to exchangeable states. We thus give an explicit algorithm for distilling entanglement from an unknown or partially known quantum state.
