Abstract: There is a fundamental difference between quantum and classical ignorance. We take it for granted that we can erase classical information, but deletion of unknown quantum states is not possible. This result complements the ‘no-cloning’ rule that says it is impossible to copy an unknown quantum state perfectly.
