Anomalous resilient to decoherence macroscopic quantum superpositions generated by universally covariant optimal quantum cloning
arXiv:1003.0831 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.82.032325
Abstract
We show that the quantum states generated by universal optimal quantum cloning of a single photon represent an universal set of quantum superpositions resilient to decoherence. We adopt Bures distance as a tool to investigate the persistence ofquantum coherence of these quantum states. According to this analysis, the process of universal cloning realizes a class of quantum superpositions that exhibits a covariance property in lossy configuration over the complete set of polarization states in the Bloch sphere.
