A CP-map Λ(ρ) preserves positivity for: (a) local state in the Hilbert space H, (b) whe tensor-multiplied by the identical map I acting on any Hilbert space K, the extended map Λ(ρ) ⊗ I is positive for any state in the entangled space H ⊗ K, for any extension of K. A positive map (P map) only satisfies property (a).

For π qubits the U condition could in principle be realized by a laser amplifier in which an optically isotropic active medium, e.g., a glass active rod or a gas cell, is excited by a symmetrical pump-energy distribution. This was indeed the first photon-cloning model ever analyzed. L. Mandel, Nature (London) 304, 188 (1983).
