Quantum random access codes and incompatibility of measurements

preprint2019arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove that quantum random access code (QRAC) performs better than its classical counterpart only when incompatible quantum measurements are used in the decoding task. As a consequence, evaluating the average success probability for QRAC provides a semi-device independent test for the detection of quantum incompatibility. We further demonstrate that any incompatible pair of projective measurements gives an advantage over all classical strategies. Finally, we establish a connection between the maximal average success probability for QRAC and earlier quantities introduced to assess incompatibility.
