Superdense Coding

The dual of teleportation: with a pre-shared Bell pair, Alice encodes two classical bits by applying one of the four Paulis (I, X, Z, XZ) to her qubit, sends that single qubit, and Bob's Bell-basis measurement recovers both bits — saturating the two-bits-per-qubit Holevo limit for entanglement-assisted communication.
