Description

Asymmetric quantum cloning (QC) is important for eavesdropping due to non-cloning quantum theorem. In this paper we propose a method to produce an asymmetric QC using weak measurement. Compared with previous proposals (1999 Phys. Rev. A 60 2764, 2004 Phy.s Rev. A 69 062316), the fidelity of one copy can be improved, while the other one reduces more smoothly. Also, the average fidelity of two copies can be raised. (letter)
