We demonstrate that the quantum communication between two parties can be significantly improved if the receiver is allowed to store the received signals in a quantum memory before decoding them. In the limit of an infinite memory, the…
Quantum state discrimination is a fundamental primitive in quantum statistics where one has to correctly identify the state of a system that is in one of two possible known states. A programmable discrimination machine performs this task…

The no-cloning theorem is a cornerstone of quantum cryptography. Here we generalize and rederive in a unified framework various upper bounds on the maximum achievable fidelity of probabilistic and deterministic cloning machines. Building on…
We propose a quantum secret sharing scheme between $m$-party and $n$-party using three conjugate bases, i.e. six states. A sequence of single photons, each of which is prepared in one of the six states, is used directly to encode classical…

Although perfect copying of an unknown quantum state is not possible, approximate cloning is possible in quantum mechanics. Quantum telecloning is a variant of approximate quantum cloning which uses quantum teleportation to allow for the…
We investigate the cases where a set $S$ of states $\{\ket{\psi_i} \}$ cannot be cloned by itself, but is clonable with the help of another system prepared in state $\hat{\rho}_i$. When $S$ is pair-wise nonorthogonal, it is known that one…
We consider a quantum state shared between many distant locations, and define a quantum information processing primitive, state merging, that optimally merges the state into one location. As announced in [Horodecki, Oppenheim, Winter,…
After a brief introduction to the quantum no-cloning theorem and its link with the linearity and causality of quantum mechanics, the concept of quantum cloning machines is sketched, following, whenever possible, the chronology of the main…

In this article we extend results from our previous work [Bendersky, de la Torre, Senno, Figueira and Ac\'in, Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 230406 (2016)] by providing a protocol to distinguish in finite time and with arbitrarily high success…
We study the mapping which occurs when a single qubit in an arbitrary state interacts with another qubit in a given, fixed state resulting in some unitary transformation on the two qubit system which, in effect, makes two copies of the…
We propose an experiment where a photon is first cloned by stimulated parametric down-conversion, making many (imperfect) copies, and then the cloning transformation is inverted, regenerating the original photon while destroying the copies.…
We construct a quantum machine which, by using asymmetric cloner, deals with disentangling and broadcasting entanglement in a single unitary evolution. The attainable maximum value of the scaling parameter $s$ for disentangling is identical…

We propose a scheme for continuous-variable telecloning with phase-conjugate inputs (PCI). Two cases of PCI telecloning are considered. The first case is where PCI telecloning produces $M$ clones nonlocally and $M$ anticlones locally, or…
Quantum cloning is a fundamental protocol of quantum information theory. Perfect universal quantum cloning is prohibited by the laws of quantum mechanics, only imperfect copies being reachable. Symmetric quantum cloning is concerned with…
Measuring the state of quantum computers is a highly non-trivial task, with implications for virtually all quantum algorithms. We propose a novel scheme where identical copies of a quantum state are measured jointly so that all Pauli…
