局部可解码代码将n位串x编码为m位码字C(x),以这样的方式,即可以通过仅查询该字的几位来从损坏的码字中恢复任何位x_i。我们使用量子论证来证明具有2个经典查询的LDCs需要指数长度:m=2^{Omega(n)}。以前,这只适用于线性码(Goldreich et al. 02)。我们的证明表明,一个2查询LDC可以解码只有1个量子查询,然后证明了指数下界,这样的1查询局部量子可解码的代码。我们还表明,q量子查询允许更简洁的最不发达国家比最有名的最不发达国家与q经典查询。最后,我们给出了新的经典下界和量子上界的设置私人信息检索。特别是,我们展示了一个量子2-服务器PIR方案,具有O(n^{3/10})量子比特的通信,改进了最著名的经典2-服务器PIR的O(n^{1/3})比特的通信。
英文摘要:
A locally decodable code encodes n-bit strings x in m-bit codewords C(x), in such a way that one can recover any bit x_i from a corrupted codeword by querying only a few bits of that word. We use a quantum argument to prove that LDCs with 2 classical queries need exponential length: m=2^{Omega(n)}. Previously this was known only for linear codes (Goldreich et al. 02). Our proof shows that a 2-query LDC can be decoded with only 1 quantum query, and then proves an exponential lower bound for such 1-query locally quantum-decodable codes. We also show that q quantum queries allow more succinct LDCs than the best known LDCs with q classical queries. Finally, we give new classical lower bounds and quantum upper bounds for the setting of private information retrieval. In particular, we exhibit a quantum 2-server PIR scheme with O(n^{3/10}) qubits of communication, improving upon the O(n^{1/3}) bits of communication of the best known classical 2-server PIR.
