  The telecloning protocol distributes quantum states from a single sender to
multiple receivers via a shared entangled state by exploiting the notions of
teleportation and approximate cloning. We investigate the optimal telecloning
fidelities obtained using both Gaussian and non-Gaussian shared resources. When
the shared non-Gaussian state is created by subtracting photons from both the
modes of the Gaussian two-mode squeezed vacuum state, we demonstrate that
higher telecloning fidelities can be achieved in comparison with its Gaussian
counterpart. To quantify this advantage, we introduce a quadrature-based
nonclassicality measure, which is capable of estimating the fidelity of the
clones, both with Gaussian and non-Gaussian resource states. We further provide
a linear optical setup for asymmetric telecloning of continuous variable states
using a multimode entangled state.
