This research establishes definitive lower bounds for zero-error source coding in quantum systems, proving that only two classical messages are sufficient under specific parity-balanced conditions. By resolving a long-standing conjecture regarding spectral properties and entanglement assistance, the work clarifies the precise limits of communication efficiency when using quantum entanglement. Formal verification via the Lean theorem prover further solidifies these findings for balanced graph structures.
Rwth Aachen Team Defines Coding Limit Using Two Messages

An existing communication protocol needed *n* messages to reliably transmit information using entanglement; now it requires only two under specific conditions. This advance establishes definitive lower bounds on how much data must be sent when dealing with a particular coding task involving paired candidates. Formal verification within the Lean theorem prover confirms these findings for balanced systems.
Definitive limits on communication costs in quantum coding tasks are key to understanding when entanglement offers an advantage. The work resolves a long-standing problem in zero-error source coding where Alice transmits information about a received word to Bob, who possesses a limited set of possible candidates containing it. Precise limits on information transmission using quantum entanglement have been determined in specific coding scenarios. This focuses on a…
