Asymmetric cloning in quantum information theory
Abstract
This thesis investigates quantum cloning and related quantum entanglement problems using core concepts of representation theory, in particular those associated with the symmetric group. The research explores Schur-Weyl duality and its extensions, which allow efficient representation and manipulation of quantum systems, serving as a valuable tool for quantum information theory. A primary application of Schur-Weyl duality is the quantum cloning problem, which is studied for both the 1 2 and the more general 1 N cases, providing new insights into the constraints imposed by the no-cloning theorem. The investigation extends to a more general quantum entanglement problem on a complete graph.
