> compression gains on the order of 100 to 1000x.

This feels like woo-woo to me.

Suppose you're compressing the text of a book: How would a quantum processor let you get a much better compression ratio, even in theory?

If you're mistakenly describing the density of information on some kind of physical object, that's not data compression, that's just a different storage medium.
