چکیده
We find an optimal quantum cloning machine, which clones qubits of arbitrary symmetrical distribution around the Bloch vector with the highest fidelity. The process is referred to as the phaseindependent cloning in contrast to the standard phase-covariant cloning for which an input qubit state is a priori better known. We assume that the information about the input state is encoded in an arbitrary axisymmetric distribution (phase function) on the Bloch sphere of the cloned qubits. We find analytical expressions describing the optimal cloning transformation and fidelity of the clones. As an illustration, we analyze cloning of qubit state described by the von Mises-Fisher and Brosseau distributions. Moreover, we show that the optimal phase-independent cloning machine can be implemented by modifying the mirror phase-covariant cloning machine for which quantum circuits are known.

Asymptotically optimal circuits for arbitrary n-qubit diagonal comutations
A unitary operator U = ∑ j,k u j,k|k〉〈 j| is called diagonal when u j,k = 0 unless j = k. The definition extends to quantum computations, where j and k vary over the 2n binary expressions for integers 0,1 · · · ,2n−1, given n qubits. Such operators do not affect outcomes of the projective measurement {〈 j| ; 0 ≤ j ≤ 2n − 1} but rather create arbitrary relative phases among the computational bas...
متن کاملThe Coordinate Ratios as a Tool to Analyze the Intrusion Based on Bužek-hillery Quantum Copying Machine
The intrusion based on Bužek-Hillery universal quantum copying machine (UQCM) is investigated. A major problem to the eavesdropper Eve is how to choose the intrusion parameters required by the copying machine in order to take out the maximum of information on the transmitted qubits while making her intrusion as discrete as possible. The present paper attempts to investigate the equatorial and i...
متن کاملRealization of the 1 → 3 optimal phase - covariant quantum cloning machine
The 1 → 3 quantum phase covariant cloning, which optimally clones qubits belonging to the equatorial plane of the Bloch sphere, achieves the fidelity F1→3 cov = 0.833, larger than for the 1 → 3 universal cloning F1→3 univ = 0.778. We show how the 1 → 3 phase covariant cloning can be implemented by a smart modification of the standard universal quantum machine by a projection of the output state...
متن کاملUniversal Manipulation of a Single Qubit
We find the optimal universal way of manipulating a single qubit, |ψ(θ, φ)〉, such that (θ, φ) → (θ− k, φ− l). Such optimal transformations fall into two classes. For 0 ≤ k ≤ π/2 the optimal map is the identity and the fidelity varies monotonically from 1 (for k = 0) to 1/2 (for k = π/2). For π/2 ≤ k ≤ π the optimal map is the universal-NOT gate and the fidelity varies monotonically from 1/2 (fo...
متن کاملQuantum cloning without signaling
Perfect Quantum Cloning Machines (QCM) would allow to use quantum nonlocality for arbitrary fast signaling. However perfect QCM cannot exist. We derive a bound on the fidelity of QCM compatible with the no-signaling constraint. This bound equals the fidelity of the Bužek-Hillery QCM. Quantum mechanics is non-local, but this cannot be used to signal. Indeed, the different mixtures of pure states...
