A (not so) short note: the equivalence of various notions of symmetric monoidal category

In this work, intended to be a companion note to a future preprint, we give a proof of the fact that the classical (biased) notion of symmetric monoidal category, the notion of unbiased symmetric monoidal category, and the notion of homotopy symmetric monoidal category are equivalent in a precise sense (in that suitably defined groupoid-enriched categories having, respectively, biased, unbiased, and homotopy symmetric monoidal categories as objects are equivalent as enriched categories).

Cloning of observables

We introduce the concept of cloning for classes of observables and classify cloning machines for qubit systems according to the number of parameters needed to describe the class under investigation. A no-cloning theorem for observables is derived and the connections between cloning of observables and joint measurements of noncommuting observables are elucidated. Relationships with cloning of states and non-demolition measurements are also analyzed.
