Abstract
We study the problem of perfectly multicasting symmetric universal clones of unknown quantum states over quantum networks with free classical communication. We construct a protocol that multicasts symmetric universal clones of input states from multiple source nodes by extending the quantum network coding protocol proposed by Kobayashi et al. We further establish a sufficient condition for perfect multicast in the single-source setting. Specifically, we show that when a single copy of a -dimensional input state is available at the source node, where is a sufficiently large prime power, perfect multicast of the corresponding symmetric universal clone is achievable using a small amount of entanglement shared among the target nodes. This result holds for quantum networks represented by an undirected graph , where each edge corresponds to a noiseless -dimensional quantum channel, provided that there exists an acyclic directed graph obtained by assigning directions to the edges of such that the minimum cut of is at least .
