Abstract

We propose a scheme for cloning an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state and its orthogonal complement state with the assistance from the state preparer. Our scheme includes two stages. The first stage requires a quantum teleportation process, in which an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state can be deterministically teleported from the sender to the receiver with χ-type entangled states as the quantum channel. In the second stage, with the assistance of the state preparer, either a perfect copy or an orthogonal complement state of an arbitrary unknown two-qubit state can be obtained with a certain probability.
