Alice and Bob initially share a four qubit maximally entangled state and by locally manipulating her two qubits Alice can generate 16 orthogonal maximally entangled states, which are used to encode the message transmitted to Bob. He reads the 4 bit message by a generalized Bell state measurement. A generalized protocol in which 2N bits of classical information is transmitted via N qubits is also presented. We also show that this four(2N-)partite channel is equivalent to two(N) Bell states, which proves that we need two(N) Bell states to teleport a two(N) qubit system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-09-27T22:06:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multipartite states", "classical information", "fourpartite quantum channel", "generalized bell state measurement", "superdense coding protocol" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004quant.ph..7193R" } } }
