Copying Quantum States

Hans Maassen

Abstract

The no-broadcasting theorem in quantum information says that a set of states on a quantum system admits a common broadcasting (copying) operation if and only if their density matrices belong to a commuting family. We discuss and prove this theorem, as well as the closely related no-cloning theorem in the context of quantum probability theory, i.e. in the category of (finite dimensional) C-star-algebras with unital completely positive maps. --- Source: arXiv:2607.02408v1 - http://arxiv.org/abs/26...

The no-broadcasting theorem in quantum information says that a set of states on a quantum system admits a common broadcasting (copying) operation if and only if their density matrices belong to a commuting family. We discuss and prove this theorem, as well as the closely related no-cloning theorem in the context of quantum probability theory, i.e. in the category of (finite dimensional) C-star-algebras with unital completely positive maps.
