Exploring the Scalability and Error Tolerance of N-Qubit Superdense Coding
Heinz, Benjamin
Superdense coding is a quantum communication protocol that enables the transmission of more than one classical bit of information per qubit, using entangled states. While superdense coding with 2-qubits is well understood and directly maps to the Bell states, the same cannot be said for higher numbers of qubits. This project aims to develop an algorithm for superdense coding using a larger number of qubits, while analyzing how the capacity for information transmission scales with qubit count. Additionally, we will determine the error thresholds for accurately reconstructing the encoded information and investigate how error scales as the number of qubits increases. Gaining a deeper understanding of superdense coding has significant applications in quantum cryptography, as superdense coding schemes can be used to set up quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocols.
