Efficient classical simulation of the Gisin-Massar quantum cloning machine

Abstract

We provide here the technical details of the recently proposed tensor-network protocol for classical simulation of the Gisin-Massar quantum cloner by the authors [Phys. Rev. A, 85, 052323 (2012)]. The protocol essentially instructs how to efficiently simulate an optimal quantum cloning machine of Gisin-Massar on a classical computer. A viable computational platform for generation on demand of arbitrary number of optimal clones with controllable numerical resources is realized by rephrasing the Gisin-Massar output state in terms of the hierarchy of the so-called matrix-product states (MPS) and invoking parity features peculiar to such an output.
