摘要
Quantum cloning relates to the security of quantum computation and quantum communication. In this paper, firstly we propose a feasible unified scheme to implement optimal 1 -> 2 universal, 1 -> 2 asymmetric and symmetric phase-covariant cloning, and 1 -> 2 economical phase-covariant quantum cloning machines only via a beam splitter. Then 1 -> 3 economical phase-covariant quantum cloning machines also can be realized by adding another beam splitter in context of linear optics. The scheme is based on the interference of two photons on a beam splitter with different splitting ratios for vertical and horizontal polarization components. It is shown that under certain condition, the scheme is feasible by current experimental technology.
