We study the 1→N faithful telecloning of two linear-independent states of a one-qubit system.Based on the analysis of the probabilistic cloning machine,we construct a multiparticle entangled state,and present a telecloning scheme under local operations and classical communication (LOCC).The success probability is greater than half of the optimal probability of the probabilistic cloning machine.Specifically,we show how to prepare the three-particle entangled state meeded by 1→2 telecloning under LOCC using the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state as a resource.All the operations in 1→2 telecloning are within the reach of current technology.
We propose a probabilistic quantum cloning scheme using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, Bell-basis measurements, single-qubit unitary operations, and generalized measurements, all of which are within the reach of current technology. Compared to another possible scheme via Tele-controlled-NOT gate [D. Gottesman and I. L. Chuang, Nature (London) 402, 390 (1999)], the present scheme may be used in experiment to clone the states of one particle to those of two different particles with higher probability and less GHZ resources.
We discuss the (im)possibility of the exact cloning of orthogonal but genuinely entangled three qubit states aided with entangled ancilla under local operation and classical communication. Whereas any two orthogonal Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states taken from the canonical GHZ basis can be cloned with the help of a known GHZ state, surprisingly we find that no two
W states can be cloned by using any known three qubit (possibly entangled) state as a blank copy.
A scheme combining three processes of quantum teleportation, optimal universal quantum flipping and optimal universal quantum cloning for universal teleflipping and telecloning of arbitrary qubit is proposed. When a particular four-particle entangled state shared by the sender and three spatially separated receivers is used as quantum information channel, after the sender's Bell measurement, class ical communication and each receiver's local unitary operation, one receiver can get one orthogonal complementing state of the original unknown state with the o ptimal fidelity of 2/3, the other two receivers can respectively get one copy of the original unknown state with the optimal fidelity of 5/6. This scheme implem ents the universal quantum teleflipping and telecloning simultaneously with corr esponding optimal fidelity by using the reduced entanglement. The key to realizi ng this scheme is the construction of the particular four-particle entangled sta te shared by the sender and three receivers used as quantum information channel. The entanglement structure of the special four-particle entangled state is anal yzed.
Teleporting unknown quantum states between distant nodes of a network is a significant feature of quantum communication. Few studies, however, have been conducted on
N→M telecloning, in which
N copies of an unknown quantum state are optimally teleported to
M≥N receivers. Previous work requires global POVMs on all copies and auxiliaries; here, we show that symmetric
N→M telecloning can be probabilistically performed using only sequential (or parallel) Bell state measurements (BSMs), allowing the copies to be spatially separated. When successful, the fidelity of each receiver's reduced state saturates the bound imposed by the no-cloning theorem, with the probability of success being independent of
M. In the case of an `unsuccessful' BSM, we show that the teleportation fidelity is likely to remain high, with the measurement outcome also providing information about the closest Pauli eigenbasis to the unknown state being telecloned. In this sense, each receiver can remotely infer the unknown quantum state with a level of confidence that scales with the number of copies, even if the fidelity of their own reduced state is sub-optimal. We additionally analyze the required resources to ensure the classical-communication fidelity bound is surpassed, both in terms of two-qubit inseparability and varying classes of multipartite entanglement. Surprisingly, we uncover that, at a given iteration of the protocol, pairwise entanglement is not always necessary to increase the teleportation fidelity and is never required to beat the classical bound for
N≥2.
