Quantum probabilistically cloning and computation

Abstract

In this article we make a review on the usefulness of probabilistically cloning and present examples of quantum computation tasks for which quantum cloning offers an advantage which cannot be matched by any approach that does not resort to it. In these quantum computations, one needs to distribute quantum information contained in states about which we have some partial information. To perform quantum computations, one uses state-dependent probabilistic quantum cloning procedure to distribute quantum information in the middle of a quantum computation. And we discuss the achievable efficiencies and the efficient quantum logic network for probabilistic cloning the quantum states used in implementing quantum computation tasks for which cloning provides enhancement in performance.
