In this paper, we propose a new protocol for a data compression task, blind quantum data compression, with finite local approximations. The rate of blind data compression is susceptible to approximations even when the approximations are diminutive. This instability originates from the sensitivity of a structure of quantum states against approximations, which makes the analysis of blind compression in the presence of approximations intractable. In this paper, we constructed a protocol that takes advantage of the instability to reduce the compression rate substantially. Our protocol shows a significant reduction in rate for specific examples we examined. Moreover, we apply our methods to diagonal states, and propose two types of approximation methods in this special case. We perform numerical experiments and observe that one of these two approximation methods performs significantly better than the other. Thus, our analysis makes a first step toward general investigation of blind quantum data compression with the allowance of approximations towards further investigation of approximation-rate trade-off of blind quantum data compression.
