We show that the nobroadcasting theorem cannot be generalized to more than a single input copy. Moreover, for four or more input copies it is even possible to purify the input states while broadcasting. We name such purifying broadcasting superbroadcasting.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-06-29T11:40:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mixed states", "superbroadcasting", "single input copy", "input states" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
