Optimal superdense coding capacity in the non-Markovian regime

Abstract Superdense coding (SDC) is a significant technique widely used in quantum information processing. Indeed, it consists of sending two bits of classical information using a single qubit, leading to faster and more efficient quantum communication. In this paper, we propose a model to evaluate the effect of backflow information in a SDC protocol through a non-Markovian dynamics. The model considers a qubit interacting with a structured Markovian environment. In order to generate a non-Markovian dynamic, an auxiliary qubit contacts a Markovian reservoir in such a way that the non-Markovian regime can be induced. By varying the coupling strength between the central qubit and the auxiliary qubit, the two dynamical regimes can be switched interchangeably. An enhancement in non-Markovian effects corresponds to an increase in this coupling strength. Furthermore, we conduct an examination of various parameters, namely temperature weight, and decoherence parameters in order to explore the behaviors of SDC, quantum fisher information (QFI), and local quantum uncertainty using an exact calculation. The obtained results show a significant relationship between non-classical correlations and QFI since they behave similarly, allowing them to detect what is beyond entanglement. In addition, the presence of non-classical correlations enables us to detect the optimal SDC capacity in a non-Markovian regime.
