>tfw previously stupid question
So I have two perfectly synced clocks with binary code assigned as specific intervals (this could be increased given clock precision) and I send a single photon between them assigned 1 in binary (assume instantaneous for simplicity) when the photon is received it is assigned a new binary (1010) in this case, in doing so I have effectively increased the amount of data per bit sent or compressed the data to a single bit, In doing so is the timing of the event not used as additional information? or am I wrong in this case?
