Quantum cloning and teleportation criteria for continuous quantum variables

Abstract
We discuss the criteria presently used for evaluating the efficiency of quantum teleportation schemes for continuous variables. Using an argument based upon the difference between 1-to-2 quantum cloning (quantum duplication) and 1-to-infinity cloning (classical measurement), we show that a fidelity value larger than 2/3 warrants that the teleported state is the best possible remaining copy of the input state. This value has not been reached experimentally so far.
