We introduce an approach to quantum cloning based on spin networks and we demonstrate that phase covariant cloning can be realized using no external control but only with a proper design of the Hamiltonian of the system. In the 1{yields}2 cloning we find that the XY model saturates the value for the fidelity of the optimal cloner and gives values comparable to it in the general N{yields}M case. We finally discuss the effect of external noise. Our protocol is much more robust to decoherence than a conventional procedure based on quantum gates.
