Several classes of state-dependent quantum cloners for three-level systems are investigated. These cloners optimally duplicate some of the four maximally-conjugate bases with an equal fidelity, thereby extending the phasecovariant qubit cloner to qutrits. Three distinct classes of qutrit cloners can be distinguished, depending on whether two, three, or four maximally-conjugate bases are cloned as well (the latter case simply corresponds to the universal qutrit cloner). These results apply to…

Covariant cloning machines for four-level systems
The study of quantum cryptography and quantum entanglement has traditionally been based on two-level quantum systems (qubits) and more recently on three-level systems (qutrits). We investigate…
ALTERNATIVE DERIVATION OF THE CRITERION FOR ECONOMICAL REALIZATION OF ONE-TO-TWO QUBIT CLONING
In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. A69 (2004) 062316], two of us (JD and TD) derived a necessary and sufficient condition for the reducibility of 3 qubit one-to-two cloners to 2 qudit one-to-two…
Security of Quantum Key Distribution with entangled Qutrits.
TLDR
This paper considers a generalization of Ekert's entanglement-based quantum cryptographic protocol where qubits are replaced by three-level systems (qutrits), and exhibits the explicit form of this cloner, which is distinct from the previously known cloners.
Cloning a real d-dimensional quantum state on the edge of the no-signaling condition
We investigate the class of quantum cloning machines that equally duplicate all real states in a Hilbert space of arbitrary dimension. By using the no-signaling condition, namely, that cloning cannot…
Process-optimized phase-covariant quantum cloning
TLDR
The optimal global fidelity for phase-covariant cloning machines via semi-definite programming optimization is computed, thereby completing a remaining gap in the previous results on QCMs.
Extremal quantum cloning machines
We investigate the problem of cloning a set of states that is invariant under the action of an irreducible group representation. We then characterize the cloners that are extremal in the convex set…
Scheme for realizing ancilla-free 1→M economic phase-covariant quantum cloning of qubits and qutrits
Economical quantum cloning in any dimension
The possibility of cloning a d-dimensional quantum system without an ancilla is explored, extending on the economical phase-covariant cloning machine for qubits found in Phys. Rev. A 60, 2764 (1999).…
Quantum cloning machines and the applications
A cloned qutrit and its utility in information processing tasks
TLDR
This work analyzes the efficacy of an output as a resource from a universal quantum cloning machine in information processing tasks such as teleportation and dense coding and finds the output states are found to be NPT states for a certain range of machine parameters.

A family of asymmetric quantum cloning machines is introduced that produce two approximate copies of a single quantum bit, each copy emerging from a Pauli channel. A no-cloning inequality is derived,…

TLDR
It is shown that there exists a ‘‘universal quantum-copying machine’’ ~i.e., transformation! which approximately copies quantum-mechanical states such that the quality of its output does not depend on the input.
Quantum Computing and Quantum Communications
TLDR
The key notion of semi-separability, used to investigate n-particle entanglement by looking at two-subsystem entangler between its various subsystems, is presented and it is shown that such conditions are not sufficient for separability in the case of mixed states, suggesting entanglements of a strange type.

Quantum error correction for communication with linear optics
TLDR
An efficient, compact scheme involving only linear optical elements and feedback, which performs error correction for both quantum and classical noise, which may find application in quantum cryptographic networks (where low noise is equivalent to high security), possibly extending their range far beyond limits imposed by system losses.
