24. See Supplemental Material at http://link.aps.org/supplemental/10.1103/ PhysRevA.86.010305 contains a prove of the optimality of the displacement distribution and an explicit derivation of equation (3). Furthermore, the applied method to infer the input state is described in detail. Finally, it is proven that the presented cloning operation is indeed truly phase-insensitive.
