Owing to the significant progress in manufacturing desktop quantum computers, the quest to achieve efficient quantum random access memory (QRAM) became inevitable. In this paper, we propose a novel efficient random access memory for quantum computers. The proposed QRAM has a fixed structure and can be used efficiently to store both known and unknown classical/quantum data. The storage capacity of the proposed QRAM is more efficient than that of the classical RAMs and can be used to store both classical and quantum information. Furthermore, the proposed model can access an arbitrary location in $O(1)$ compared with other state-of-the-art models.
