Optical Circuit for Quantum Similarity Measurement Algorithm

Vivek Mehta, Sonali Jana, Utpal Roy

We report a similarity measurement algorithm, based on quantum optics formulation, where a coherent state is used as the elementary quantum resource. The algorithm is demonstrated for an image database and we provide an architecture with constituent optical elements in linear order with respect to the image resolution. The obtained phase-distributed multimode coherent state is fed into an image retrieval scheme and we identify the appropriate laser intensity parameter for similarity measurement. We demonstrate the viability of the protocol through an objective quality assessment of images by adding consecutive layers of noises. The results are in good agreement with the expected outcome. The image distortion-sensitivity analysis of the metric establishes the further merit of the model. Our quantum algorithm has wider applicability also in supervised machine learning tasks.

Duality Principles in Image Processing and Analysis

Luc M. J. Florack

Duality is a well-established concept in quantum physics. It formalises the fact that what one observes is not nature in itself, but---in Heisenberg's words---"nature exposed to our method of questioning". In the context of image analysis "question" pertains to some task while "nature" (empirical facts and natural laws) could be taken as the totality of image data supplemented with relevant external factors (knowledge or hypotheses). However, the analogy with quantum physics falls short in at least one fundamental aspect. Whereas the physicist studies nature for nature's sake, endeavouring to reveal natural laws, the image scientist pursues a certain task. This implies a shift of paradigm from the retrospect to the prospect. It will be argued that this leads to a subtle but important difference in the role duality plays in image processing and analysis as compared to the technically similar "bracket" formalism in quantum physics.
