Deletion of imperfect cloned copies (original) (raw)

In this work, we design a deleting machine and shown that for some given condition on machine parameters, it gives slightly better result than P-B deleting machine [5,6]. Also it is shown that for some particular values of the machine parameters it acts like Pati-Braunstein deleting machine. We also study the combined effect of cloning and deleting machine, where at first the cloning is done by some standard cloning machines such as Wootters-Zurek [1] and Buzek-Hillery [2] cloning machine and then the copy mode is deleted by Pati-Braunstein deleting machine or our prescribed deleting machine. After that we examine the distortion of the input state and the fidelity of deletion .
