Abstract
We propose experimentally feasible schemes to implement the optimal asymmetric economical 1→2 and 1→3 phase-covariant cloning,which work without ancilla,in the context of ion-trap system.In these schemes the collective motional mode is initially prepared in the vacuum state |0.In the first scheme,we drive the first ion with a laser beam firstly,and then we map the motional mode state to the second ion.And in the second scheme,we drive two ions with different laser beams,and then we map the motional mode state to the third one.The schemes are based on resonant sideband excitation,thus they may be realized with current ion-trap techniques.
