Visible compression of commuting mixed states

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We analyze the problem of quantum data compression of commuting density operators in the visible case. We show that the lower bound for the compression factor given by the Levitin--Holevo function is reached by providing an explicit protocol.
