Those relations link the limitations on cloning and the NOT operation possibly imposed by {\\em other} laws of Nature. Our result is quite general and holds both in classical and quantum-mechanical worlds, for both optimal and suboptimal operations, and for bosons as well as fermions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-06-27T21:06:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conservation laws", "relations link", "quite general", "suboptimal operations", "quantum-mechanical worlds" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
