Deterministic superreplication of one-parameter unitary transformations

Abstract

We show that one can deterministically generate out of NN copies of an unknown unitary operation up to N2N^2 almost perfect copies. The result holds for all operations generated by a Hamiltonian with an unknown interaction strength. This generalizes a similar result in the context of phase covariant cloning where, however, super-replication comes at the price of an exponentially reduced probability of success. We also show that multiple copies of unitary operations can be emulated by operations acting on a much smaller space, e.g., a magnetic field acting on a single nn-level system allows one to emulate the action of the field on n2n^2 qubits.
