摘要
A transformation achieving the optimal symmetric N --> M cloning of coherent states is presented. Its implementation requires only a phase-insensitive linear amplifier and a network of beam splitters. An experimental demonstration of this continuous-variable cloner should therefore he in the scope of current technology. The link between optimal quantum cloning and optimal amplification of quantum states is also pointed out.
