Abstract
A quantum source coding method includes: initializing a quantum register having a plurality of nodes: loading a unary-coded message into the quantum register; loading an address state into an address register of each message node of the quantum register; sorting the message nodes based on a data register such that the message nodes form a message-sorted sequence; and applying, for each message node at an end of the message-sorted sequence, a CNOT gate to the address state of each of the register's message nodes and output nodes. The method also includes: unsorting the message nodes; sorting the nodes based on the address register such that the nodes form a fully-sorted sequence; applying, for each pair of adjacent nodes in the fully-sorted sequence having the same address state, a CNOT gate to the data registers of each pair; and unsorting the nodes to return the fully-sorted sequence to the initial sequence.
