Quantum cloning

V Scarani, S Iblisdir, N Gisin, A Acín - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2005 - APS
The impossibility of perfectly copying (or cloning) an unknown quantum state is one of the
basic rules governing the physics of quantum systems. The processes that perform the …

Experimental quantum cloning with prior partial information

J Du, T Durt, P Zou, H Li, LC Kwek, CH Lai, CH Oh… - Physical review …, 2005 - APS
When prior partial information about a state to be cloned is available, it can be cloned with a
fidelity higher than that of universal quantum cloning. We experimentally verify this intriguing …

Demonstration of Coherent-State Discrimination Using a Displacement-Controlled<? format?> Photon-Number-Resolving Detector

C Wittmann, UL Andersen, M Takeoka, D Sych… - Physical review …, 2010 - APS
