Abstract
We propose two schemes for realizing 1→2 economical phase-covariant quantum cloning with superconducting quantum-interference devices(SQUID) in cavity QED.In our schemes,the SQUIDs with three levels act with a quantized cavity field and classical microwave pluses via Raman transition.On the condition of large detuning,the excited state would be eliminated adiabaticly.During the whole operation,the cavity field is in the vacuum state at all times,so there is no transfer of quantum information between the SQUIDs and cavity,thus the cavity decay is largely suppressed.By using this method,we can realize the phase-covariant quantum cloning by four steps.
