Optimal Estimation of States in Quantum Image Processing

Published Jun 19, 2014• 7 citations

Abstract

An optimal estimator of quantum states based on a modified Kalman Filter is presented in this work. Such estimator acts after state measurement, allowing to obtain an optimal estimation of quantum state resulting in the output of any quantum image algorithm. Besides, a new criteria, logic, and arithmetic based on projections onto vertical axis of Bloch Sphere exclusively are presented too. This approach will allow us: 1) a simpler development of logic and arithmetic quantum operations, where they will closer to those used in the classical digital image processing algorithms, 2) building simple and robust classical-to-quantum and quantum-to-classical interfaces. Said so far is extended to quantum algorithms outside image processing too. In a special section on metrics and simulations, three new metrics based on the comparison between the classical and quantum versions algorithms for filtering and edge detection of images are presented. Notable differences between the results of classical and quantum versions of such algorithms (outside and inside of quantum computer, respectively) show the need for modeling state and measurement noise inside estimation scheme.

A proposal for the optimal estimation of states in Quantum Information Processing

Mario Mastriani

An optimal estimator of quantum states based on a modified Kalman's Filter is proposed in this work. Such estimator acts after state measurement, allowing obtain an optimal estimation of quantum state resulting in the output of any quantum algorithm. This method is much more accurate than other types of quantum measurements, such as, weak measurement, strong measurement, quantum state tomography, among others.

Quantum image processing?

Mario Mastriani

This paper presents a number of problems concerning the practical (real) implementation of the techniques known as Quantum Image Processing. The most serious problem is the recovery of the outcomes after the quantum measurement, which will be demonstrated in this work that is equivalent to a noise measurement, and it is not considered in the literature on the subject. It is noteworthy that this is due to several factors: 1) a classical algorithm that uses Dirac's notation and then it is coded in MATLAB does not constitute a quantum algorithm, 2) the literature emphasizes the internal representation of the image but says nothing about the classical-to-quantum and quantum-to-classical interfaces and how these are affected by decoherence, 3) the literature does not mention how to implement in a practical way (at the laboratory) these proposals internal representations, 4) given that Quantum Image Processing works with generic qubits this requires measurements in all axes of the Bloch sphere, logically, and 5) among others. In return, the technique known as Quantum Boolean Image Processing is mentioned, which works with computational basis states (CBS), exclusively. This methodology allows us to avoid the problem of quantum measurement, which alters the results of the measured except in the case of CBS. Said so far is extended to quantum algorithms outside image processing too.

Quantum Edge Detection for Image Segmentation in Optical Environments

Mario Mastriani

A quantum edge detector for image segmentation in optical environments is presented in this work. A Boolean version of the same detector is presented too. The quantum version of the new edge detector works with computational basis states, exclusively. This way, we can easily avoid the problem of quantum measurement retrieving the result of applying the new detector on the image. Besides, a new criterion and logic based on projections onto vertical axis of Bloch's Sphere exclusively are presented too. This approach will allow us: 1) a simpler development of logic quantum operations, where they will closer to those used in the classical logic operations, 2) building simple and robust classical-to-quantum and quantum-to-classical interfaces. Said so far is extended to quantum algorithms outside image processing too. In a special section on metric and simulations, a new metric based on the comparison between the classical and quantum versions algorithms for edge detection of images is presented. Notable differences between the results of classical and quantum versions of such algorithms (outside and inside of quantum computer, respectively) show the existence of implementation problems involved in the experiment, and that they have not been properly modeled for optical environments. However, although they are different, the quantum results are equally valid. The latter is clearly seen in the computer simulations

Performance Evaluation of Quantum Kalman Filter for Target Tracking: A Quantum Information Perspective

The Quantum Kalman Filter (QKF) emerges as an innovative approach to address the challenges of state estimation in quantum systems, adapting classical Kalman filtering to the complexities of quantum mechanics. This paper examines the theoretical framework, practical implementation hurdles, and potential applications of QKF in quantum information processing and sensing. By incorporating quantum measurement principles and stochastic dynamics, QKF offers a solution for optimal state estimation in noisy quantum environments. The study presents simulation results and comparative analyses with classical Kalman filtering for tracking single targets, underscoring the advantages and limitations of QKF in advancing quantum technology applications.

Quantum Boolean Image Denoising

Mario Mastriani

A quantum Boolean image processing methodology is presented in this work, with special emphasis in image denoising. A new approach for internal image representation is outlined together with two new interfaces: classical-to-quantum and quantum-to-classical. The new quantum-Boolean image denoising called quantum Boolean mean filter (QBMF) works with computational basis states (CBS), exclusively. To achieve this, we first decompose the image into its three color components, i.e., red, green and blue. Then, we get the bitplanes for each color, e.g., 8 bits-per-pixel, i.e., 8 bitplanes-per-color. From now on, we will work with the bitplane corresponding to the most significant bit (MSB) of each color, exclusive manner. After a classical-to-quantum interface (which includes a classical inverter), we have a quantum Boolean version of the image within the quantum machine. This methodology allows us to avoid the problem of quantum measurement, which alters the results of the measured except in the case of CBS. Said so far is extended to quantum algorithms outside image processing too. After filtering of the inverted version of MSB (inside quantum machine) the result passes through a quantum-classical interface (which involves another classical inverter) and then proceeds to reassemble each color component and finally the ending filtered image. Finally, we discuss the more appropriate metrics for image denoising in a set of experimental results.
