Title: Mirror modular cloning and fast quantum associative retrieval

Abstract: We show that a quantum state can be perfectly cloned up to global mirroring with a unitary transformation that depends on one single parameter. We then show that this is equivalent to "perfect" cloning for quantum associative memories which, as a consequence efficiently hold exponentially more information than their classical counterparts. Finally, we present a quantum associative retrieval algorithm which can correct corrupted inputs and is exponentially faster than the Grover algorithm.
