Abstract: In this paper we present the following quantum compression protocol: P : Let ho,sigma be quantum states such that S(ho||sigma)=extTr(hologho−hologsigma), the relative entropy between ho and sigma, is finite. Alice gets to know the eigen-decomposition of ho. Bob gets to know the eigen-decomposition of sigma. Both Alice and Bob know S(ho||sigma) and an error parameter epsilon. Alice and Bob use shared entanglement and after communication of mathcalO((S(ho||sigma)+1)/epsilon4) bits from Alice to Bob, Bob ends up with a quantum state ildeho such that F(ho,ildeho)geq1−5epsilon, where F(cdot) represents fidelity. This result can be considered as a non-commutative generalization of a result due to Braverman and Rao [2011] where they considered the special case when ho and sigma are classical probability distributions (or commute with each other) and use shared randomness instead of shared entanglement. We use P to obtain an alternate proof of a direct-sum result for entanglement assisted quantum one-way communication complexity for all relations, which was first shown by Jain, Radhakrishnan and Sen [2005,2008]. We also present a variant of protocol P in which Bob has some side information about the state with Alice. We show that in such a case, the amount of communication can be further reduced, based on the side information that Bob has. Our second result provides a quantum analogue of the widely used classical correlated-sampling protocol. For example, Holenstein [2007] used the classical correlated-sampling protocol in his proof of a parallel-repetition theorem for two-player one-round games.
