For more generality, we use the [[density matrix]] representation of the states which includes [[mixed states]] as well as [[pure states]]. For a simple pure state <math>|\psi\rangle</math> the density matrix representation will be <math>\rho_{\psi} = |\psi\rangle\langle\psi|</math>. Let us assume the initial qubit to be in an unknown state <math>\rho_{\psi}</math>. Our task is to clone this qubit universally, i.e. input-state independently, in such a way, that we can control the scaling of the original and the clone at the output. In other words, we look for output which can be represented as below:</br> | For more generality, we use the [[density matrix]] representation of the states which includes [[mixed states]] as well as [[pure states]].
