A scheme of quantum dense coding by one-dimensional cluster state is proposed.In the scheme,it is possible to transmit n bits of classical information by sending only n=2(n is even) or(n + 1)=2(n is odd) qubits.
Abstract Quantum communication is a new emerging inter-discipline in which classical communication theory and quantum mechanics are intertwined. Among them, the utilization of quantum entangled state properties is fundamental to the realization of quantum communication. In this way, we can ensure the security and confidentiality of information during transmission based on a new communication scheme, i.e., a quantum dense coding scheme. It enables the transmission of two bits of classical information by transmitting only one qubit. In the past decades, the scheme has attracted the attention of many researchers because of its promising development. In this paper, on top of quantum mechanics, we first review the two-dimensional dense coding scheme and analyze the process implemented by the above scheme. Then it is successfully extended to higher dimensions (three dimensions), predicting the possibility of implementation in more than two dimensions. Finally, the importance of the maximally entangled state for the transmission of this scheme is briefly explained.
Abstract Quantum dense coding is a protocol for transmitting two classical bits of information from a sender (Alice) to a remote receiver (Bob) by sending only one quantum bit (qubit). In this article, we propose an experimentally feasible scheme to realize quantum dense coding via entanglement swapping in a cavity array containing a certain number of two-level atoms. Proper choice of system parameters such as atom–cavity and inter-cavity couplings allows perfect transfer of information. A high fidelity transfer of information is shown to be possible by using recently achieved experimental values in the context of photonic crystal cavities and superconducting resonators. To mimic experimental imperfections, disorder in both the coupling strengths and resonance frequencies is considered.
An experimentally feasible scheme for implementing four-atom quantum dense coding of an atom–cavity system is proposed. The cavity is only virtually excited and no quantum information will be transferred from the atoms to the cavity. Thus the scheme is insensitive to cavity decay and the thermal field. In the scheme, Alice can send faithfully 4 bits of classical information to Bob by sending two qubits. Generalized Bell states can be exactly distinguished by detecting the atomic state, and quantum dense coding can be realized in a simple way.
