The universal quantum cloning machine and the universal not gate acting on a single qubit can be implemented very generally by slightly modifying the protocol of quantum state teleportation. In fact, the nocloning theorem 8 of quantum mechanics does restrict the type of operations available to quantum algorithms. The idea is to decompose the total distance into shorter elementary links, over which entanglement is shared. This is a common misconception about the nocloning theorem.
On the other hand, we may be interested only in copying a restricted set of quantum bits, or qubits. In sum, one cannot make a perfect copy of an unknown quantum state, since, without prior knowledge, it is impossible to select the right copier for the job. It is commonly stated that it is impossible to clone. It was stated by wootters, zurek, and dieks in 1982, and has profound implications in quantum computing and related fields.

Bell showed, in his famous paper 1, the nonlocal nature of quantum mechanics. Unlike a classical state, an unknown quantum state cannot be. On the other hand, if quantum states can be cloned perfectly, special relativity would inevitably be violated. The nocloning theorem is therefore a substantial restriction on the facilities available to the programmer of a quantum computer. Optimised quantum hacking of superconducting nanowire singlephoton detectors michael g. However, the nocloning theorem is even more important in quantum cryptography, where the impossibility of copying an unknown quantum state is essential to the security of the information. Wootters, a measure of the distinguishability of quantum states, in quantum. Quantum cryptography the impossibility of cloning may seem at first an annoying.

His anonymous referees report contained an argument which was a special case of the theorem in. A single quantum cannot be cloned, nature 299 1982 citeseerx.
Thus, they are at the heart in various qip such as quantum teleportation 6, superdense coding 7, quantum cloning 8, quantum cryptography 9,10, quantum metrology 11, and quantum computer. That formulation is one common way of stating the nocloning theorem. But avoid asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. A laser pulse can excite a pair of carriers known as an exciton in the quantum dot. The proposed quantum based data protection system uses the fundamental difference between classical and. Such a photon is guaranteed to have the same polarization as the original photon. In cloning one starts with a quantum system whose state is completely unknown and creates another identical quantum system whose state is exactly the same as the initial system. It is clear even in the case of a single qubit that the state. Quantum frequency translation by fourwave mixing in a fiber. The theorem does not say that you cannot clone a quantum state.
We showed that it is impossible to observe quantum steering, as described by. There was another referee, giancarlo ghirardi, who recommended to reject herberts paper. The quantum aspects enter when information is processed. If a photon of definite polarization encounters an excited atom, there is typically some nonvanishing probability that the atom will emit a second photon by stimulated emission. This is achieved by using the nonlocal correlations of previously distributed, entangled quantum bits qubits.

Nocloning theorem is fundamental for quantum mechanics and for quantum information science that states an unknown quantum state cannot be cloned perfectly.
Since quantum processors with access to ctcs can perfectly distinguish pure quantum states 7, one might conclude that such ctcassisted processors could also approximately clone any pure quantum state, in violation of the celebrated nocloning theorem 12.
