This paper shows how network coding and superdense coding can be combined to increase the classical data throughput by a factor $2-\epsilon$ (for arbitrarily small $\epsilon > 0$) compared to the maximum that could be achieved using either network coding or superdense coding alone. Additionally, a general decomposition of a mixed'' network (i.e., consisting of classical and quantum links) is given, and it is reasoned that, owing to the inherent hardness of finding network codes, this may well…

This protocol is the first time that a protocol integrates bidirectional hybrid controlled quantum communication and quantum network coding and has good potential to enhance the efficiency of communication in the quantum network.

The quantum linear network coding protocols of Kobayashi et al. coherently simulate classical linear network codes, using supplemental classical communication to demonstrate that these protocols correspond in a natural way to measurement-based quantum computations with graph states over qudits having a structure directly related to the network.

It is demonstrated how adapting quantum linear network coding to this problem of entanglement distribution in a network of qubits can be used to solve the problem of distributing Bell states and GHZ states in parallel, when bottlenecks in $G$ would otherwise force such entangled states to be distributed sequentially.

This work presents results on the integration of quantum communication using superdense coding transmitted over optical fiber links into network environments using a novel complete Bell-state measurement setup that relies on hyper-entanglement in the temporal and polarization degrees of freedom for a two-photon state emitted from a quantum light source.

In an arbitrary quantum network when two nodes are not connected, the result shows how much information, both quantum and classical, can be transmitted between these nodes and shows that the amount of transferable information depends on the capacities of the inter connecting entangled resources.

This work reveals that it is in general not optimal to regard the information to be multicast as a "fluid" which can simply be routed or replicated, and by employing coding at the nodes, which the work refers to as network coding, bandwidth can in general be saved.
