Abstract
Quantum mechanical properties like entanglement, discord and coherence act as fundamental resources in various quantum information processing tasks. Consequently, generating more resources from a few, typically termed as broadcasting is a task of utmost significance. One such strategy of broadcasting is through the application of cloning machines. In this article, broadcasting of quantum resources beyond 2 ⊗ 2 systems is investigated. In particular, in 2 ⊗ 3 dimension, a class of states not useful for broadcasting of entanglement is characterized for a choice of optimal universal Heisenberg cloning machine. The broadcasting ranges for maximally entangled mixed states (MEMS) and two parameter class of states (TPCS) are obtained to exemplify our protocol. A significant derivative of the protocol is the generation of entangled states with positive partial transpose in 3 ⊗ 3 dimension and states which are absolutely separable in 2 ⊗ 2 dimension. Moving beyond entanglement, in 2 ⊗ d dimension, the impossibility to optimally broadcast quantum correlations beyond entanglement (QCsbE) (discord) and quantum coherence(l1-norm) is established. However, some significant illustrations are provided to highlight that non-optimalbroadcasting of QCsbE and coherence are still possible
