Abstract

We present an experimental approach to construct a dephrasure channel that contains both dephasing and erasure noises and can be used as an efficient tool to study the superadditivity of coherent information. Using a three-fold dephrasure channel, the superadditivity of coherent information is observed, and a substantial gap is found between the zero single-letter coherent information and zero quantum capacity. Particularly, we find that, when the coherent information of n channel uses is zero, with a larger number of channel uses the quantum capacity becomes positive. These phenomena exhibit a more obvious superadditivity of coherent information than previous works and demonstrate a higher threshold for nonzero quantum capacity. Such novel channels built in our experiment also can provide a useful platform to study the nonadditive properties of coherent information and quantum channel capacity.
