This protocol achieves the functionality of Quantum Cloning. Symmetric or Optimal Universal Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle N \rightarrow M} quantum cloning machine (QCM) transformation, acting on N original qubits, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (M - N)} blank qubits and an extra system which usually contains the states of the QCM itself, and produces M identical copies. Mathematically, this transformation is a Unitary transformation (It preserves the inner product). This machine is universal meaning it is not depending on the input states and works for all the possible inputs. Also, the machine is symmetric so all the output clones are the same and have the same fidelity with the original states. We investigate the optimal protocol which has the maximum possible average fidelity over all the states (produces best clones in average for all of the states).

Assumptions[edit]

  • We assume that all of the original states are identical and also all of the output copies will be identical at the end of the protocol (In other words, the final output state belongs to the symmetric subspace of M qubits).
  • We assume that the protocol is an approximate deterministic cloning protocol, meaning that in every round it produces approximate copies of the original states.

Outline[edit]

The steps of the protocol will be as follow:

  • Prepare your N original states and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (M - N)} blank states. This machine acts on these states and also on internal states of the QCM.
  • Perform the operation of the QCM which is a transformation taking these states to M identical states as close as possible to the original states. This unitary operation can be implemented by quantum gates (or other equivalent quantum computing models)
  • Discard the extra machine states that have been used in the previous step. Mathematically this means that you should Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle trace out} the states of the machine. The final output states will be the M approximately similar copies.
