Abstract

We describe a unified framework of phase-covariant multiuser quantum transformations for d-dimensional quantum systems. We derive the optimal phase-covariant cloning and transposition transformations for multiphase states. We show that for some particular relations between the input and output number of copies, they correspond to economical transformations, which can be achieved without the need of auxiliary systems. We prove a relation between the optimal phase-covariant cloning and transposition maps and optimal estimation of multiple phases for equatorial states.
