Classical information theory is a useful tool to describe the communication, storage, and processing of classical information by exploiting the Shannon entropy. In quantum information theory, similar tasks can be achieved for quantum system by utilizing the von Neumann entropy. Furthermore, quantum correlations lead to additional intriguing effects which can be utilized in various protocols. We experimentally investigate two-mode squeezed (TMS) microwave states as a source of such nonclassical correlations and characterize the latter in terms of different entropic measures. Additionally, we realize a fundamental quantum communication protocol by employing the TMS states and a feedforward. Finally, we relate this quantum communication protocol to an extension of the one-time pad to the quantum regime and investigate the security of the protocol using entropic measures.
