Optimal filters for photon cloning with an optical amplifier

We study the performance of a practical quantum cloning scheme consisting of a continuously pumped broadband optical amplifier followed by optimal spectral and temporal filters for spontaneous emission suppression. Our simulation results demonstrate that the fidelity of this system is no better than a random cloning machine when the average input photon number is below one, but asymptotically approaches the quantum limit of an optimal quantum cloning machine as the input photon number increases. We also show that this system has a better fidelity than cloning based on state estimation, though for a large number of clones both cloning methods asymptotically approach the quantum limit.

Quantum cloning of a coherent light state into an atomic quantum memory

A scheme for the optimal Gaussian cloning of coherent light states at the interface between light and atoms is proposed. The distinct feature of this proposal is that the clones are stored in an atomic quantum memory, which is important for applications in quantum communication. The atomic quantum cloning machine requires only a single passage of the light pulse through the atomic ensembles followed by the measurement of a light quadrature and an appropriate feedback, which renders the protocol experimentally feasible. An alternative protocol, where one of the clones is carried by the outgoing light pulse, is discussed in connection with eavesdropping on quantum key distribution.

The effect of the magnetic field on the fidelity of the cloning is also investigated. By applying an external magnetic field on the spin system, the fidelity of the cloning machine can be largely improved.

Implementing phase-covariant cloning in circuit quantum electrodynamics

An efficient scheme is proposed to implement phase-covariant quantum cloning by using a superconducting transmon qubit coupled to a microwave cavity resonator in the strong dispersive limit of circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). By solving the master equation numerically, we plot the Wigner function and Poisson distribution of the cavity mode after each operation in the cloning transformation sequence according to two logic circuits proposed. The visualizations of the quasi-probability distribution in phase-space for the cavity mode and the occupation probability distribution in the Fock basis enable us to penetrate the evolution process of cavity mode during the phase-covariant cloning (PCC) transformation. With the help of numerical simulation method, we find out that the present cloning machine is not the isotropic model because its output fidelity depends on the polar angle and the azimuthal angle of the initial input state on the Bloch sphere. The fidelity for the actual output clone of the present scheme is slightly smaller than one in the theoretical case. The simulation results are consistent with the theoretical ones. This further corroborates our scheme based on circuit QED can implement efficiently PCC transformation.

Optical realization of optimal symmetric real state quantum cloning machine

We present an experimentally uniform linear optical scheme to implement the optimal 1→2 symmetric and optimal 1→3 symmetric economical real state quantum cloning machine of the polarization state of the single photon. This scheme requires single-photon sources and two-photon polarization entangled state as input states. It also involves linear optical elements and three-photon coincidence. Then we consider the realistic realization of the scheme by using the parametric down-conversion as photon resources. It is shown that under certain condition, the scheme is feasible by current experimental technology.     

Optimal quantum cloning on a beam splitter

We demonstrate how a beam splitter in combination with different light sources can be used as an optimal universal 1-->2 quantum cloner and as an optimal universal quantum NOT machine for the polarization qubit of a single photon. For the cloning a source of single photons with maximally mixed polarization is required and for the NOT operation a source of maximally entangled photon pairs. We demonstrate both operations with near optimal fidelity. Our scheme can be generalized in a natural way to clone and NOT the spin state of electrons.
