Abstract
We proposed a protocol for probabilistic cloning of an unknown two-particle entangled state and orthogonal complement state based on three particle GHZ state.In this scheme,the state which Alice wants to cloning was completely unknown and arbitrary for Alice and Bob.First,Alice made Bell measurement on his particles and sended his measurement results to Bob via classical channel.After having received Alice's classical message,Bob could reconstruct the original state on her particles by unitary operation and control-not gate operation.Second,Alice could produce the perfect copies and complement copies of an unknown state with assistance of the state preparer.Our scheme also fit to the case that the quantum channel was non-maximally.Furthermore,the quantum entangled resource and the classical communication cost were greatly reduced compared with other protocol.
