When\nthere are two unknown quantum objects\, and if we want to learn just\nthe relationship between the objects\, a met hod to directly compare the\ntwo objects without identifying their descrip tions is preferable\,\nespecially when the number of available copies of e ach target object\nis limited. In this work\, we investigate the compariso n of unknown\nunitary channels with multiple uses of the unitary channels based on\nthe quantum tester formalism.  We obtain the optimal minimum-er ror\nstrategy and the optimal unambiguous strategy of unitary comparison o f\ntwo unknown d-dimensional unitary channels when the number of uses of\n the channels satisfies a certain condition. These optimal strategies\nare implemented by parallel uses of the unitary channels\, even though\nall se quential and adaptive strategies implementable by the quantum\ncircuit mod el are considered. When the number of the smaller uses of\nthe unitary cha nnels is fixed\, the optimal averaged success\nprobability is achieved by a certain number of uses of the other\nchannel. This feature contrasts wit h the case of pure-state\ncomparison\, where adding more copies of the unk nown pure states always\nimproves the optimal averaged success probability . It highlights the\ndifference between corresponding tasks for states and channels\, which\nhas been previously shown for quantum discrimination ta sks.  \n\nReference: Y. Hashimoto\, A. Soeda and M.
