Popis: We present an experimental approach to construct a dephrasure channel, which contains both dephasing and erasure noises, and can be used as an efficient tool to study the superadditivity of coherent information. By 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, in the case of larger number of channel uses, it will become positive. These phenomena exhibit a more obvious superadditivity of coherent information than previous works, and demonstrate a higher threshold for non-zero quantum capacity. Such novel channels built in our experiment also can provide a useful platform to study the non-additive properties of coherent information and quantum channel capacity.
