Abstract:
In this work, we introduce a special kind of quantum cloning machine called Hybrid quantum cloning machine. The introduced
Hybrid quantum cloning machine or transformation is nothing but a combination of pre-existing quantum cloning transformations.
In this sense it creates its own identity in the field of quantum cloners. Hybrid quantum cloning machine can be of two types:
(i) State dependent and (ii) State independent or Universal. We study here the above two types of Hybrid quantum cloning machines.
Later we will show that the state dependent hybrid quantum-cloning machine can be applied on only four input states. We will
also find in this paper another asymmetric universal quantum cloning machine constructed from the combination of optimal universal
B–H quantum cloning machine and universal anti-cloning machine. The fidelities of the two outputs are different and their
values lie in the neighborhood of .
