  abstract =     "We investigate the optimal distribution of quantum information over multipartite
                 systems in asymmetric settings. We introduce cloning transformations that take N
                 identical replicas of a pure state in any dimension as input and yield a collection
                 of clones with nonidentical fidelities. As an example, if the clones are
                 partitioned into a set of M-A clones with fidelity F-A and another set of M-B
                 clones with fidelity F-B, the trade-off between these fidelities is analyzed, and
                 particular cases of optimal N -> M-A+M-B cloning machines are exhibited. We also
                 present an optimal 1 -> 1+1+1 cloning machine, which is an example of a tripartite
                 fully asymmetric cloner. Finally, it is shown how these cloning machines can be
                 optically realized.",
