#Compressed bits store tons of quantum data University of Toronto Posted by Lindsay Jolivet-U. Toronto on September 29 2014scientists recently demonstrated that it s possible to compress quantum bits or qubits without losing information.

The ability to compress quantum information just as we do with digital data could open up huge potential for more powerful computing.

So it would require only 10 qubits to store all of the information about 1000 qubits

and only 20 qubits to store all of the information about a million. Digital compression in the world of classical information theory is fairly straightforward.

A qubit can be in a uperpositionbetween both zero and one until you measure it at

Measured one way a qubit might reveal a value of either zero or one. Measured another way it might show a value of either plus or minus.

So you don t want to collapse the quantum state of the qubit until you re ready to.

Once you ve made a single measurement any other information you might have wanted to extract from the qubit disappears.

You could just store the qubit until you know you re ready to measure its value.

or millions of qubits. ur proposal gives you a way to hold onto a smaller quantum memory

In the experiment Lee Rozema a researcher in Steinberg s lab and lead author on the paper prepared qubits in the form of photons

The experiment showed that the information contained in three qubits could be compressed into only two qubits

One caveat is that the information has to be contained in qubits that have been prepared by an identical process.

However many experiments in quantum information make use of just such identically prepared qubits making the technique potentially very useful. his work sheds light on some of the striking differences between information in the classical and quantum worlds.
