A novel qutrit representation for RGB digital images

Mirna Rofail, Rasha Montaser, Ahmed Younes

Ternary Quantum Image Processing (TQIP) leverages the power of qutrits to enhance Quantum Image Processing (QIP) by enabling higher information density, reducing error rates, and simplifying circuit complexity compared to traditional binary quantum systems. Inspired by the ENEQR binary model, this paper introduces the Ternary Novel Colored Quantum Representation (TNCQR), a qutrit-based model for encoding RGB digital images in a ternary quantum system. The TNCQR model requires fewer qutrits than the number of qubits needed in equivalent binary models. By incorporating a single ancilla qutrit, the model reduces the depth of high-complexity gates, thereby lowering the overall quantum cost and improving time complexity. To simplify the constructed circuits, an optimization algorithm is presented, consisting of 2 general phases applicable to any image size and one conditional phase specific to each image. This makes TNCQR an efficient, scalable, and resource-optimized quantum image representation model.

Qutrit representation of quantum images: new quantum ternary circuit design

Asma Taheri Monfared, Valentina Ciriani, Majid Haghparast

Abstract Quantum computation is growing in significance and proving to be a powerful tool in meeting the high real-time computational demands of classical digital image processing. However, extensive research has been done on quantum image processing, mainly rooted in binary quantum systems. In this paper, we propose a new quantum ternary image circuit based on the analysis of the existing qutrit representation of quantum images. The proposed design utilizes ternary shift gates and ternary Muthukrishnan–Stroud gates, with the belief that this circuit can be used for ternary quantum image processing. This study makes a significant improvement compared to the existing counterpart in terms of quantum cost, the number of constant inputs, and garbage outputs, which are all essential parameters in quantum circuit design.
