No-deleting and no-cloning principles as consequences of conservation of quantum information

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Condensed Matter

Abstract

We show that the no-deleting and no-cloning principles are implications of information conservation principle. This is unlike in classical physics, where cloning and deleting are possible, independently of information conservation. Connections with the second law of thermodynamics are also discusssed.
