|High-dimensional quantum cloning and applications to quantum hacking
|We perform optimal cloning of high-dimensional photonic
|states by means of the symmetrization method.
|In addition, a cloning attack on a Bennett and Brassard (BB84)
|quantum key distribution protocol is experimentally demonstrated
|to reveal the robustness of high-dimensional states in quantum
|cryptography.
I can't parse the technical stuff. Does the last paragraph mean
they broke "old quantum crypto"?
