Spatial Path Superposition: A No-Cloning Perspective on MIMO-Inspired Spatial Diversity
arXiv cs.NI0 views
arXiv:2611.06306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial diversity is a key mechanism in classical Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) communications, where multiple propagation alternatives provide redundant observations that improve reliability in noisy environments. A direct translation of this principle to quantum communications is forbidden by the no-cloning theorem, since an unknown quantum state cannot be copied and transmitted through independent links. In this Perspective article, we argue that spatial path superposition provides a no-cloning-compatible analogue of the spatial-diversity principle of MIMO. Rather than duplicating the transmitted quantum state, a quantum carrier is coherently delocalized over multiple communication links, so that alternative spatial evolutions are experienced in quantum superposition. In this framework, classical redundancy is replaced by spatial coherence, and the communication link itself becomes part of the quantum dynamics. Indeed, spatial coherence can enhance the fidelity of the received quantum state, providing the quantum counterpart of the classical diversity gain, and can be converted into bipartite and multipartite entanglement during propagation. This implies that, under suitable coherent path control, noisy channel evolutions can contribute constructively to entanglement generation. This Perspective identifies spatial path superposition as a quantum-native primitive for the Quantum Internet, linking no-cloning-compatible spatial diversity, fidelity enhancement, entanglement generation, and coherent path control.
