Abstract
The nature of optical quantum communication is briefly reviewed. The important roles of the different quantum amplifiers are discussed. The concepts of quantum duplicators for various observables are introduced. These devices may have significant applications in optical systems including local area networks. Their possible realization via nonlinear optical effects will be indicated.
