No-cloning theorem for a single POVM
نویسنده
چکیده
Cloning of statistics of general quantum measurement is discussed. The presented approach is connected with the known concept of observable cloning, but differs in some essential respects. The reasons are illustrated within some variety of B92 protocol. As it is shown, there exist pairs of states such that the perfect cloning of given POVM is not possible. We discuss some properties of these intolerant sets. An example allowing the perfect cloning is presented as well.

Quantum state restoration and single-copy tomography
Given a single copy of a quantum state |ψ〉, the no cloning theorem greatly limits the amount of information which can be extracted from it. On the other hand, given only a procedure which verifies the state, for example access to a measurementM = {I−|ψ〉〈ψ|, |ψ〉〈ψ|}, even distinguishing I−|ψ〉〈ψ| from the identity takes exponential time. In this paper, we consider the scenario in which we are giv...
متن کاملQuantum Cloning Optimal for Joint Measurements
Perfect cloning of unknown quantum systems is forbidden by the laws of quantummechanics [1]. However, a universal optimal cloning has been proposed [2], which has been proved to be optimal in terms of fidelity [3, 4]. A obvious relevant application of such optimal cloning is eavesdropping in quantum cryptography [5]. However, quantum cloning can be of practical interest as a tool to engineer no...
متن کاملOn Quantum Estimation, Quantum Cloning and Finite Quantum de Finetti Theorems
This paper presents a series of results on the interplay between quantum estimation, cloning and finite de Finetti theorems. First, we consider the measure-and-prepare channel that uses optimal estimation to convert M copies into k approximate copies of an unknown pure state and we show that this channel is equal to a random loss of all but s particles followed by cloning from s to k copies. Wh...
متن کاملNo-cloning theorem for a single observable
The concept of observable cloning introduced by Ferraro et al. [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 39, L219, 2006] is developed in some essential aspects. As figure of merit, we justify a relative entropy of the joint distribution at the output to the product of independent distributions at the input. It is shown that the impossibility of observable cloning can be caused by set of possible input states. ...
متن کاملOn “ Bell ’ s inequality without alternative settings ”
Cabello has recently (in quant-ph/0210081) observed that " ...an EPR-experiment with a fixed POVM on each particle provides a violation of Bell's inequality without requiring local observers to choose between the alternatives. " In this note I discuss the implications of this observation for tests of locality.
