A robust one-step catalytic machine for high fidelity anti-cloning and W-state generation in a multi-qubit system

Abstract

We propose a physically realizable machine which can either generate multiparticle W-like states, or implement high fidelity $1\to M$ ($M=1,2,...\infty$) anti-cloning of an arbitrary qubit state, in a single step. Moreover this universal machine acts as a catalyst in that it is unchanged after either procedure, effectively resetting itself for its next operation. It also possesses an inherent {\em immunity} to decoherence. Most importantly in terms of practical multi-party quantum communication, the machine's robustness in the presence of decoherence actually {\em increases} as the number of qubits $M$ increases.
