Abstract:Multicasting of quantum states is an essential feature of quantum internet. Since the noncloning theorem prohibits perfect cloning of an unknown quantum state, an appropriate protocol may depend on the purpose of the multicast. In this paper, we treat the multicasting of a single copy of an unknown state over a quantum network with free classical communication. We especially focus on protocols exactly multicasting an asymmetric optimal universal clone. Hence, these protocols are optimal and universal in terms … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
