Abstract
We propose the optimal economical telecloning of equatorial qubits. The fidelity of each copy is optimal, and the telecloning can be realized with the success probability 100%. The efficiency of telecloning is much better than the protocol in the previous contributions (Wang and Yang in Phys Rev A 79:062315, 2009).
