Stronger no-cloning, no-signalling and conservation of quantum information

Indranil Chakrabarty, Arun Kumar Pati, Satyabrata Adhikari

It is known that the stronger no-cloning theorem and the no-deleting theorem taken together provide the permanence property of quantum information. Also, it is known that the violation of the no-deletion theorem would imply signalling. Here, we show that the violation of the stronger no-cloning theorem could lead to signalling. Furthermore, we prove the stronger no-cloning theorem from the conservation of quantum information. These observations imply that the permanence property of quantum information is connected to the no-signalling and the conservation of quantum information.

Entanglement, Nonlocality, Superluminal Signaling and Cloning

G. C. Ghirardi

The paper is a Chapter of a book. In it an exhaustive review of the proposals to send faster than light signals resorting to quantum nonlocality and the reduction process is presented, together with a critical analysis and rebuttal of all proposals. The most interesting part of the Chapter is the one in which the problem of quantum cloning is discussed. Actually, a proposal of superluminal signaling based on an hypothetical cloning machine has been presented by N. Herbert. The proposal does not work just because of the assumption that one can clone nonorthogonal states. The fact that such a machine is incompatible with quantum theory (i.e., the so-called No-Cloning Theorem) has been proved, for the first time, by the author of the present chapter in his referee's report to Herbert's paper. In the final part of the paper some recent (different but similarly not correct) proposals are analyzed and the reasons for which they are basically wrong are presented.

Cloning a real d -dimensional quantum state on the edge of the no-signaling condition

Patrick Navez, Nicolas J. Cerf

We investigate the class of quantum cloning machines that equally duplicate all real states in a Hilbert space of arbitrary dimension. By using the no-signaling condition, namely, that cloning cannot make superluminal communication possible, we derive an upper bound on the fidelity of this class of quantum cloning machines. Then, for each dimension d, we construct an optimal symmetric cloner whose fidelity saturates this bound. Similar calculations can also be performed in order to recover the fidelity of the optimal universal cloner in d dimensions.
