Entanglement and quantum information lie at the root of quantum theory. These remarkable resources are generally believed to diminish when systems carrying them interact with their environment. By contrast, we find that engaging a system…
We investigate the quantum channel consisting of two localized quantum systems that communicate through a scalar quantum field. We choose a scalar field rather than a tensor or vector field, such as the electromagnetic field, in order to…
Quantum mechanics allows for situations where the relative order between two processes is entangled with a quantum degree of freedom. Here we show that such entanglement can enhance the ability to transmit quantum information over noisy…
