Run the perfect discriminator on the supplied state and record whether the result is or . For each , choose a unitary satisfyingwhich is possible by extending to an orthonormal basis. Prepare two fresh systems in and, controlled by the classical outcome , apply . The output isThe discriminator may destroy its input; the two freshly prepared outputs still implement cloning on this known pair. This is the construction that perfect discrimination implies cloning for a known state family.
