Superdense coding over optical fiber links with complete Bell-state measurements
Abstract
Adopting quantum communication to modern networking requires transmitting quantum information through fiber-based infrastructure. We report the first demonstration of superdense coding over optical fiber links, taking advantage of a complete Bell-state measurement enabled by time-polarization hyperentanglement, linear optics, and common single-photon detectors. We demonstrate the highest single-qubit channel capacity to date utilizing linear optics, 1.665 0.018, and we provide a full experimental implementation of a hybrid, quantum-classical communication protocol for image transfer.
