Quantum-Enhanced Data Compression with Entangled State Encoding
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper explores a novel approach to data compression leveraging the principles of quantum entanglement. Traditional classical compression algorithms often struggle to efficiently represent highly correlated data, particularly in complex datasets. This research proposes a method, termed entangled state encoding, where data is represented by the quantum state of an entangled pair. By exploiting the inherent correlations within the data, this technique aims to achieve significantly higher compression ratios compared to conventional methods. The core of the approach lies in encoding multiple data points simultaneously into the shared quantum state, effectively reducing redundancy. We analyze the theoretical limitations and potential advantages of this technique, focusing on the information-theoretic aspects of compression and the challenges associated with practical implementation. The study outlines the fundamental principles, provides a conceptual framework, and discusses the key considerations for future research in this emerging field. The central equation demonstrating the compression ratio is: R = (1 - P) * L, where R is the compression ratio, P is the probability of measurement error, and L is the original data length. Furthermore, we consider the entanglement fidelity (F) as a crucial parameter: F ∈ [0, 1], with higher fidelity leading to improved compression performance. The goal is to maximize the compression ratio while maintaining a high fidelity of the entangled state.
