Claim 2:
3. The method of claim 2, wherein decoding the datastream using the wavelength and polarization of each of the polarized photon further comprises:
associating a first digit value with photons having the first wavelength that belong to the first portion and are polarized along the first polarization axis for the first wavelength according to the polarization measurement;
associating a second digit value with photons having the first wavelength that belong to the first portion and are polarized along the second polarization axis for the first wavelength according to the polarization measurement;
associating the first digit value with photons having the second wavelength that belong to the second portion and are polarized along the third polarization axis for the first wavelength according to the polarization measurement; and
associating the second digit value with photons having the second wavelength that belong to the second portion and are polarized along the fourth polarization axis for the first wavelength according to the polarization measurement.
