Random access codes via quantum contextual redundancy

Abstract

We propose a protocol to encode classical bits in the measurement statistics of many-body Pauli observables, leveraging quantum correlations for a random access code. Measurement contexts built with these observables yield outcomes with intrinsic redundancy, something we exploit by encoding the data into a set of convenient context eigenstates. This allows to randomly access the encoded data with few resources. The eigenstates used are highly entangled and can be generated by a discretely-parametrized quantum circuit of low depth. Applications of this protocol include algorithms requiring large-data storage with only partial retrieval, as is the case of decision trees. Using nn-qubit states, this Quantum Random Access Code has greater success probability than its classical counterpart for n14n\ge 14 and than previous Quantum Random Access Codes for n16n \ge 16. Furthermore, for n18n\ge 18, it can be amplified into a nearly-lossless compression protocol with success probability 0.9990.999 and compression ratio O(n2/2n)O(n^2/2^n). The data it can store is equal to Google-Drive server capacity for n=44n= 44, and to a brute-force solution for chess (what to do on any board configuration) for n=100n= 100.
