| contents | In the quantum compression scheme proposed by Schumacher, Alice compresses a message that Bob decompresses. In that approach, there is some probability of failure and, even when successful, some distortion of the state. For sufficiently large blocklengths, both of these imperfections can be made arbitrarily small while achieving a compression rate that asymptotically approaches the source coding bound. However, direct implementation of Schumacher compression suffers from poor circuit complexity. In this paper, we consider a slightly different approach based on classical syndrome source coding. The idea is to use a linear error-correcting code and treat the message to be compressed as an error pattern. If the message is a correctable error (i.e., a coset leader) then Alice can use the error-correcting code to convert her message to a corresponding quantum syndrome. An implementation of this based on polar codes is described and simulated. As in classical source coding based on polar codes, Alice maps the information into the ``frozen" qubits that constitute the syndrome. To decompress, Bob utilizes a quantum version of successive cancellation coding. |
