Abstract

We show that, there are physical means for cloning two non-orthogonal pure states which are secretly chosen from a certain set % \= | Ψ0 > , | Ψ1 > $. The states are cloned through a unitary evolution together with a measurement. The cloning efficiency can not attain 100%. With some negative measurement results, the cloning fails.
