Superdense codes transmitted over optical fiber links decoded deterministically using time-polarization hyperentanglement
Brian P. Williams, Ronald J. Sadlier, Travis S. Humble
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 encoding on a single-degree of freedom utilizing linear optics, 1.665±0.018, and we provide a full experimental implementation of a hybrid, quantum-classical communication protocol for image transfer.
