These states are non-orthogonal ([[orthogonal case is trivial]]). For a state-dependent cloner, the only thing that we need is to perform a transformation which takes N identical input states and <math>M-N</math> blank states, to M copies such that it yields the best copies for the given special input states. It is important to note that this transformation is useful when we have a prior information about the input states. | ||
