Quantum Data Compression Based on Quantum Demixing
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper explores a novel approach to classical data compression leveraging the principles of quantum demixing and measurement. The core idea is to transform classical data into a quantum state representation and subsequently exploit quantum demixing to effectively eliminate unwanted quantum correlations. This process allows for the selective extraction of information, ultimately leading to a compressed representation. We present a theoretical framework outlining this methodology, focusing on the mathematical underpinnings of the transformation, demixing, and measurement stages. The proposed method offers a potential pathway to achieve high compression ratios by exploiting the unique properties of quantum systems. We demonstrate, through theoretical analysis, the feasibility and potential advantages of this technique compared to conventional classical compression methods. The key elements involve mapping classical data to a quantum state, employing a demixing protocol to reduce redundancy, and finally, measuring the quantum state to recover the compressed information. This work lays the groundwork for future research into practical implementations of quantum data compression. ---
