Subject to the laws of classical physics -the science that governs the design of todays wireless communication systems -there is no need to match the radiation impedance of a receiver antenna to the impedance of the front-end electronics in order to effect communications. If we dispense with a transmission line and, instead, make the front-end electronics colocated with the antenna, then a high input-impedance preamplifier can measure the open-circuit voltage directly on the antenna port while drawing negligible power.

A communication-efficient protocol is introduced over a many-to-one quantum network for Q-E-B-MDS-X-TPIR, i.e., quantum private information retrieval with MDS-X-secure storage and T-private queries. The protocol is resilient to any set of up to E unresponsive servers (erased servers or stragglers) and any set of up to B Byzantine servers. The underlying coding scheme incorporates an enhanced version of a Cross Subspace Alignment (CSA) code, namely a Modified CSA (MCSA) code, into the framework of CSS codes.
