Quantum Computation in Computational Geometry

Abstract

We discuss applications of quantum computation to geometric data processing. These applications include problems on convex hulls, minimum enclosing balls, linear programming, and intersection problems. Technically, we apply well-known Grover’s algorithm (and its variants) combined with geometric algorithms, and no further knowledge of quantum computing is required. However, revealing these applications and emphasizing potential usefulness of quantum computation in geometric data processing will promote research and development of quantum computers and algorithms.

Quantum algorithms for intersection and proximity problems

Kunihiko Sadakane, Norito Sugawara, Takeshi Tokuyama

We discuss applications of quantum computation to geometric data processing. Especially, we give efficient algorithms for intersection problems and proximity problems. Our algorithms are based on Brassard et al.'s amplitude amplification method, and analogous to Buhrman et al.'s algorithm for element distinctness. Revealing these applications is useful for classifying geometric problems, and also emphasizing potential usefulness of quantum computation in geometric data processing. Thus, the results will promote research and development of quantum computers and algorithms.

Quantum algorithmic methods for computational geometry

Marco O. Lanzagorta, Jeffrey K. Uhlmann

In this paper we develop novel quantum algorithms based on Quantum Multi-Object Search (QMOS) for convex hulls and general object intersection reporting, with applications to computer graphics. These algorithms are developed and described using standard concepts from computer science by encapsulating the physics of quantum computation within black-box subroutines.

Quantum computational geometry

Marco O. Lanzagorta, Jeffrey K. Uhlmann

The prospects for practical quantum computing have improved significantly over the past few years, and there is an increasing motivation for developing quantum algorithms to address problems that are presently impractical to solve using classical computing. In previous work we have indentified such problems in the areas of computer graphics applications, and we have derived quantum-based solutions. In this paper we examine quantum-based solutions to problems arising in the area of computational geometry. These types of problems are important in a variety of scientific, industrial and military applications such as large scale multi-object simulation, virtual reality systems, and multi-target tracking. In particular, we present quantum algorithms for multidimensional searches, convex hull construction, and collision detection.

Quantum computing is a revolutionary field that promises to provide computational advantages that classical computers cannot achieve. This article delves into the intersection of quantum computing and its potential applications in machine learning (ML) and data science. By leveraging quantum mechanics, quantum computers can solve complex problems faster and more efficiently than traditional machines. The article explores key quantum algorithms, including Grover's algorithm and Shor's algorithm, and their potential to enhance the performance of ML models and data processing tasks. Furthermore, it provides a critical review of the ongoing research in quantum-enhanced machine learning (QML) and quantum data science (QDS), highlighting the challenges and future opportunities for integration into practical applications.

Quantum computation in the analysis of hyperspectral data

Richard B. Gomez, Debabrata Ghoshal, Anil Jayanna

Recent research on the topic of quantum computation provides us with some quantum algorithms with higher efficiency and speedup compared to their classical counterparts. In this paper, it is our intent to provide the results of our investigation of several applications of such quantum algorithms - especially the Grover's Search algorithm - in the analysis of Hyperspectral Data. We found many parallels with Grover's method in existing data processing work that make use of classical spectral matching algorithms. Our efforts also included the study of several methods dealing with hyperspectral image analysis work where classical computation methods involving large data sets could be replaced with quantum computation methods. The crux of the problem in computation involving a hyperspectral image data cube is to convert the large amount of data in high dimensional space to real information. Currently, using the classical model, different time consuming methods and steps are necessary to analyze these data including: Animation, Minimum Noise Fraction Transform, Pixel Purity Index algorithm, N-dimensional scatter plot, Identification of Endmember spectra - are such steps. If a quantum model of computation involving hyperspectral image data can be developed and formalized - it is highly likely that information retrieval from hyperspectral image data cubes would be a much easier process and the final information content would be much more meaningful and timely. In this case, dimensionality would not be a curse, but a blessing.
