Non-linear operations in quantum information theory

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Quantum information theory is used to analize various non-linear operations on quantum states. The universal disentanglement machine is shown to be impossible, and partial (negative) results are obtained in the state-dependent case. The efficiency of the transformation of non-orthogonal states into orthogonal ones is discussed.
