Asymmetric phase-covariant d-dimensional cloning
Abstract
We consider cloning transformations of d-dimensional states of the form eiφ0|0> + eiφ1|1> +...+ eiφd-1|d-1> that are covariant with respect to rotations of the phases φi's. The optimal cloning maps are easily obtained using a well-defined general characterization of state-dependent 1 -> 2 cloning transformations in arbitrary dimensions. Our results apply to symmetric as well as asymmetric cloners, so that the balance between the fidelity of the two clones can be analyzed.
