The article by Ortigoso [1] describes the history of the quantum no-cloning theorem, [2,3] arguing that Jim Park discovered it 12 years prior to 1982. [4] Given that AJP is dedicated to pedagogy, I am writing to recast the state vectors given by Ortigoso in a form that reflects the required statistics of indistinguishable particles, which might be less confusing to students. This more precise form also applies to entanglement, which I believe is often described in a way that implies that identical particles may sometimes be excused from spin statistics. Here I describe both.Cloning means making an exact copy, where two identical systems result; the original and the copy. Consider a single particle in state |φ that is cloned, leaving the two-particle state |φ |φ . This state is nonsensical for a fermion, which forbids two particles from occupying the same state.The resolution is to start with a particle here whose state we wish to duplicate there. Rather than expressing the initial state of the two identical particles as |φ |0 , where the state |φ is to be copied according to the operation T |φ |0 → |φ |φ , the initial two-particle state |φ h , 0 t with exchange symmetry is given bywhere the subscripts h and t refer to here and there and the ± signs designate bosons/fermions. The first ket represents Particle #1 and the second ket Particle #2. Note that we use the convention that |φ h |0 t represents a direct product while |φ h , 0 t is the symmetrized form as given by Eq.(1). The two occupied states can be identical for bosons, such as |φ, φ = |φ |φ , but will generally be different. Eq.(1) implicitly assumes that states here are orthogonal to states there, or φ h | φ t = 0. If here and there represent two spatial regions separated by an infinite barrier, then the two locations span a space that is orthogonal to the internal states, so |φ h can be separated into a direct product of the form |φ h = |φ |h . Then, Eq. (1) can be expressed aswhere the subscripts 1 and 2 remind us that the direct product within parentheses reefers to Particle #1 and #2, respectively; and where we have regrouped the terms on the last line.When cloning yields two particles in the same "internal" state but at two different locations, the definition of the cloning operation must beEqs. (1) and (3) define the action of the cloning operation to bewhich does not imply that T |φ h |0 t → |φ h |φ t . If this were so,which clearly is not a clone. As such, the cloning operator cannot act on just a single direct product of state vectors but must operate on the symmetrized state vector. The cloned state in Eq.(3), written in the form given by Eq. (2), separates into the productEq. (6) illustrates how the form |φ |φ generally used by researchers refers to the internal part of the state vector and the exchange symmetry is contained in the second term, which is not explicitly stated but implicitly assumed. However, the initial state vector prior to cloning given by Eq.(2) cannot be separated into an internal and external part, so |φ |0 is nonsensical...
