The no-cloning theorem is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics that states it is impossible to create an identical copy (or "clone") of an arbitrary unknown quantum state. This theorem is significant because it highlights a key difference between classical information and quantum information. In classical physics, if you have a piece of information, you can make copies of it easily.
