Deterministic superreplication of one-parameter unitary transformations
Abstract
We show that one can deterministically generate out of copies of an unknown unitary operation up to 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 -level system allows one to emulate the action of the field on qubits.
