Min-entropy sampling gives a bound on the min-entropy of a randomly chosen subset of a string, given a bound on the min-entropy of the whole string. K\"onig and Renner showed a min-entropy sampling theorem that holds relative to quantum knowledge. Their result achieves the optimal rate, but it can only be applied if the bits are sampled in blocks, and only gives weak bounds for the non-smooth min-entropy. We give two new quantum min-entropy sampling theorems that do not have the above weaknesses. The first theorem shows that the result by K\"onig and Renner also applies to bitwise sampling, and the second theorem gives a strong bound for the non-smooth min-entropy. Our results imply a new lower bound for k-out-of-n random access codes: while previous results by Ben-Aroya, Regev, and de Wolf showed that the decoding probability is exponentially small in k if the storage rate is smaller than 0.7, our results imply that this holds for any storage rate strictly smaller than 1, which is optimal.
