Abstract

We propose an efficient scheme for realizing the \(1\rightarrow n\) orbital state quantum cloning by using Rydberg superatoms. We place an ultracold Rydberg atomic ensemble which contains n individual ladder type Rydberg atoms inside the blocking ball to form a superatom, the quantum information is encoded the effective energy levels of superatom. Combined with quantum Zeno dynamics and shortcuts to adiabaticity, the \(1\rightarrow 3\) orbital state quantum cloning process can be quickly completed. Moreover, we generalize the idea to the case of \(1\rightarrow n\). At last, the influence of decoherence factors on fidelity is considered. The numerical simulation results show that high fidelity can be obtained.
