Continuous-Variable Telecloning with Phase-Conjugate Inputs

We propose a scheme for continuous-variable telecloning with phase-conjugate inputs (PCI). Two cases of PCI telecloning are considered. The first case is where PCI telecloning produces $M$ clones nonlocally and $M$ anticlones locally, or vice versa. This kind of PCI telecloning requires only one EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) entangled, two-mode squeezed state as a resource for building the appropriate multi-mode, multipartite entangled state via linear optics. The other case is a PCI telecloning protocol in which both clones and anticlones are created nonlocally. Such a scheme requires two EPR entangled states for the generation of a suitable multipartite entangled state. As our schemes are reversible, optimal cloning fidelities are achieved in the limit of infinite squeezing.
