Optimal compression with quantum retrieval
Abstract
We consider the following data compression problem. Given a string x ∈ {0,1}m of Hamming weight at most n, compress it into a shorter string y ∈ {0,1}s so that any bit xi of x can be retrieved without any error using at most t quantum queries to the standard oracle encoding of y. If queries are allowed to be adaptive we show how optimal compression up to a logarithmic factor can be achieved. If the queries are required to be made non-adaptively, we show schemes whose space is optimal in its dependence on m except for a logarithmic factor, and is at most quadratically worse when compared to the optimum in its dependence on n.

AB - We consider the following data compression problem. Given a string x ∈ {0,1}^m of Hamming weight at most n, compress it into a shorter string y ∈ {0,1}^s so that any bit x_i of x can be retrieved without any error using at most t quantum queries to the standard oracle encoding of y. If queries are allowed to be adaptive we show how optimal compression up to a logarithmic factor can be achieved. If the queries are required to be made non-adaptively, we show schemes whose space is optimal in its dependence on m except for a logarithmic factor, and is at most quadratically worse when compared to the optimum in its dependence on n.
