This is superdense coding. To send the two classical bits , Alice applies to her half of the shared Bell state , producing , and sends that one qubit to Bob. Bob applies followed by on the first qubit, as in part (i), and measures both qubits in the computational basis. The outcome is with certainty, so one transmitted qubit communicates two classical bits using the previously shared quantum entanglement.
