The tripartite entanglement among the output modes and the quantum cloning machine is also considered. We find that the roles of the quantum correlations including the bipartite and tripartite entanglement and quantum discord strongly depend on the quantum cloning machines as well as the cloned state. In particular, it is found that this quantum cloning scheme can be realizable even without any quantum correlation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-27T03:17:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum correlation", "quantum cloning machine", "tripartite entanglement", "output modes", "quantum discord strongly depend" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
