Towards Quantum Compression in High-Energy Physics Data

High-energy physics experiments produce a vast amount of data. For instance, the Large Hadron Collider alone generates about 250 TB of data every day. This raises the obvious challenge of efficiently storing and operating on this information. This task will only become more difficult as we move towards the next generation of experiments and observatories, which will produce an order of magnitude more data. Even though quantum computing is in its nascency, it has the potential to revolutionize information technology and therefore address many of the aforementioned challenges. Specifically, the development of persistent quantum random access memory would allow us to store data in the exponentially large Hilbert space. In this contribution, I will present a novel high-density encoding of high-energy physics data as well as prospects for operating on such densely encoded data.
