A Quantum Measurement Scenario which Requires Exponential Classical Communication for Simulation

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

In this paper we consider the following question: how many bits of classical communication and shared random bits are necessary to simulate a quantum protocol involving Alice and Bob where they share k entangled quantum bits and do not communicate at all. We prove that 2^k classical bits are necessary, even if the classical protocol is allowed an \epsilon chance of failure.
