 This paper models the preservation of information stored in a physical system subjected to noise using a communication theoretic paradigm, constructs encoding and decoding to protect against the action of a given noisy quantum channel, considers the situation where the noise is due to physical laws governing the evolution of the universe, finds that the noise imparted to quantum systems under a 1 plus 1 Roberson-Walker space-time is equivalent to the amplitude-damping channel studies trade-off. Coding strategies for preserving both classical and quantum information in such a scenario and determines a region of achievable rates. Additionally, the paper determines a trade-off between achievable rates of classical and quantum information preservation when entanglement assistance is available.
