arXiv:2607.10414v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A binary $(n,m)$ quantum random access code (QRAC) compresses an $n$-bit classical string into an $m$-qubit quantum state, from which a decoder attempts to recover a randomly selected target bit. Of particular interest is the optimal average probability of success, $P^{Q,\mathrm{avg},\mathrm{opt}}_{n,m}$, which was numerically conjectured to satisfy the bound $P^{Q,\mathrm{avg},\mathrm{opt}}_{n,m}\leq \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{m}{n}}$. Recent constructions of $(n,n-1)$ QRACs by Suzuki and $(n,n-2)$ QRACs by Akibue et al. meet this bound exactly, raising the question of their strict optimality. In this work, we settle this question by proving the conjectured upper bound for $m\in\{n-1,n-2\}$, thereby precisely determining $P^{Q,\mathrm{avg},\mathrm{opt}}_{n,n-1}$ and $P^{Q,\mathrm{avg},\mathrm{opt}}_{n,n-2}$. The proof utilizes a translation recently studied by Lin and de Wolf from local to global reconstruction via pretty good measurement, along with dimensional and positive-semidefinite constraints on an induced channel.
