AI summary

One embodiment includes a method for quantum-mechanically archiving data. The method includes receiving, by a quantum computing device (QD), a request to store the data. The data may be associated with a file identifier (ID). A set of bits encodes the data in a classical encoding and the set of bits has a first cardinality. In response to receiving the request to store the data, generating, the QD may generate, based on a superdense coding protocol, a quantum-mechanical (QM) encoding of the data via a set of qubits that has a second cardinality that is less than the first cardinality. The QD may cause a generation of a data structure that encodes an association between the file ID and the set of qubits. The QD may further cause a storage of the data structure.
