We consider the entanglement of two remote qubits induced by local interaction with the two-mode nonclassical state fields. We investigate the transfer of entanglement from different two-mode nonclassical state fields to a pair of separable and mixed qubits. We find that no matter what state the qubit subsystem is initially prepared in, at the specific time gt{approx_equal}11.07 the entanglement of the Bell state fields can be almost completely transferred to the qubit subsystem, i.e., the Bell state fields can drive an initially separable and very mixed state of qubits into an almost pure highly entangled state suitable for quantum information processing. For the entangled coherent state fields [u>=N{sub 1}([{alpha},-{alpha}>+]-{alpha},{alpha}>) and [u{sup '}>=N{sub 2}([{alpha},-{alpha}>-[-{alpha},{alpha}>) we find that when [{alpha}] is small, the dynamic behaviors of the entanglement between two qubits are quite different. For |u> there is almost no entanglement between two qubits while for [u{sup '}> the dynamic behavior of the entanglement between two qubits is very similar to that of the Bell state field. For large |{alpha}| we find that the dynamic behaviors of entanglement between two qubits are almost the same for these two fields, and when gt{approx}[{alpha}]{pi} the entanglement between two qubits reaches its maximum and is almost independent of initial mixedness of the qubit subsystem. For the two-mode squeezed vacuum state field we find that when r{approx}0.86 and gt{approx_equal}11.07 the entanglement transfer reaches its maximum which also almost does not depend on the initial mixedness of the qubit subsystem.
