Abstract:
Quantum information is stored in two-level quantum systems
known as qubits. The no-cloning theorem states that the
state of an unknown qubit cannot be copied. This is in
contrast to classical information which can be copied. If
one drops the requirement that the copies be perfect it is
possible to design quantum copiers. This paper presents
a short review of the theory of quantum copying.
