%0 Journal Article %T Transitions in quantum networks %A Paivi Torma %J Physics %D 1998 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.81.2185 %X We consider transitions in quantum networks analogous to those in the two-dimensional Ising model. We show that for a network of active components the transition is between the quantum and the classical behaviour of the network, and the critical amplification coincides with the fundamental quantum cloning limit. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9802024v2
