4.1 Introduction

Perfect cloning of quantum states that are a priori unknown is forbidden by the laws of quantum mechanics (13). Perfect cloning is only possible when the input states belong to a known set of orthogonal states. For example, the Controlled‐NOT quantum gate (4), which operates as follows on two qubits (two‐level systems):
