A geometrical description of the universal 1 to 2 asymmetric quantum cloning region

We consider the problem of determining the achievable region of parameters for universal $1 \to 2$ asymmetric quantum cloning. Measuring the cloning performance with the figure of merit of singlet fraction, we show that the physical region is a union of ellipses in the plane. Equivalently, we characterize the parameter region of quantum state compatibility of two possibly different isotropic states, considering, for the first time, negative singlet fractions.
