Assessing the similarity of quantum images based on probability measurements

Fei Yan, Phuc Q. Le, Abdullah M. Iliyasu +4 more

A method to analyze the similarity between two quantum images of the same size is proposed based on a representation for the quantum images. The similarity value is estimated according to the probability distribution of the results from quantum measurements. The proposed method is fast because a single operation can transform the entire information encoded in two images simultaneously. Two simulation-based experiments, which provide a reasonable estimation to the quantum images' similarity, are implemented using Matlab on a classical computer by means of linear algebra with complex vectors as quantum states and unitary matrices as unitary transformations. It also opens the door towards image searching from a database on quantum computers.

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.
