Quantum computing represents a revolutionary leap in computational power, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in fundamentally new ways. Unlike classical computers, which use bits to represent data as 0s or 1s, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits, enabling the phenomena of superposition and entanglement to perform complex calculations more efficiently (Nielsen & Chuang, 2010). This article explores the basic principles of quantum computing, the different models and algorithms that have been developed, and the current state of quantum hardware. The power of quantum computing lies in its ability to solve certain types of problems exponentially faster than classical computers. For instance, Shor's algorithm can factorize large integers in polynomial time, posing a significant threat to classical encryption methods (Shor, 1997). Similarly, Grover's algorithm provides a quadratic speedup for unstructured search problems, showcasing the potential for dramatic improvements in database search capabilities (Grover, 1996). These algorithms exemplify how quantum computing can revolutionize fields that rely on complex computations. Quantum hardware, however, is still in its nascent stage, with significant challenges to be overcome. Current quantum computers, such as those developed by IBM and Google, have demonstrated quantum supremacy but are limited by issues of qubit coherence and error rates (Arute et al., 2019). Quantum error correction and the development of more stable qubit technologies are critical areas of ongoing research (Preskill, 2018). Despite these challenges, recent advancements in quantum hardware and algorithms continue to drive the field forward, promising transformative impacts on industries such as cryptography, drug discovery, and artificial intelligence. As quantum computing continues to advance, it holds the promise of solving problems that are currently intractable for classical computers, paving the way for unprecedented technological and scientific advancements (Shor, 1997; Grover, 1996). This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of quantum computing, discussing its foundational principles, key algorithms, hardware challenges, and potential applications. By understanding these aspects, we can better appreciate the profound implications of quantum computing for the future of technology and science.
Quantum computing is an emerging form of computing that uses the rules of quantum physics to process information in ways that are far different from how computers do it now. Quantum computing uses quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in superpositions of states and get entangled with each other, which is different from classical computing, which uses a bit that represents binary values (0 or 1). These characteristics allow quantum devices to execute parallel computations, enabling significant speedups for specific categories of problems considered intractable for classical machines. This chapter gives a thorough introduction to quantum computing, starting with a historical overview of its foundations in quantum physics and significant theoretical advancements. It analyzes fundamental ideas including superposition, entanglement, quantum interference, and the no-cloning theorem, explaining how these elements distinguish quantum computation from traditional approaches. The advancement of quantum hardware is examined through several architectures, trapped ions, superconducting circuits, photonics, and topological qubits, together with software frameworks like Qiskit, Cirq, and PennyLane, which support algorithm development and simulation. The chapter examines fundamental quantum algorithms, such as Grover’s algorithm for database search, Shor’s algorithm for integer factorization, and hybrid variational methods designed for noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. The practical applications in domains including as encryption, optimization, machine learning, chemistry, and finance emphasize the real-world significance of quantum technology. Challenges like decoherence, noise, scalability, and algorithmic maturity are rigorously analyzed, followed by an anticipated discourse on future trajectories including fault-tolerant architectures, quantum networking, and the development of quantum cloud services. This chapter presents a fundamental introduction for students, researchers, and practitioners seeking to comprehend the essential principles, functionalities, and possibilities of quantum computing in the post–Moore’s law period.

Image processing is popular in our daily life because of the need to extract essential information from our 3D world, including a variety of applications in widely separated fields like bio-medicine, economics, entertainment, and industry. The nature of visual information, algorithm complexity, and the representation of 3D scenes in 2D spaces are all popular research topics. In particular, the rapidly increasing volume of image data as well as increasingly challenging computational tasks have become important driving forces for further improving the efficiency of image processing and analysis. Since the concept of quantum computing was proposed by Feynman in 1982, many achievements have shown that quantum computing has dramatically improved computational efficiency [1]. Quantum information processing exploit quantum mechanical properties, such as quantum superposition, entanglement and parallelism, and effectively accelerate many classical problems like factoring large numbers, searching an unsorted database, Boson sampling, quantum simulation, solving linear systems of equations, and machine learning. These unique quantum properties may also be used to speed up signal and data processing. In quantum image processing, quantum image representation plays a key role, which substantively determines the kinds of processing tasks and how well they can be performed.
Quantum computing is a computational process that utilizes quantum mechanics features, namely superposition, interference, and entanglement, in information processing, allowing computation to run in parallel. The advantage of quantum computing is that it solves complex problems whereas classical computing is impossible because it requires expensive computing costs. Object detection and recognition is a task of computer vision, where research in this field aims to improve the ability of computer algorithms to produce interpretations of visual information. Humans easily analyze and describe the visual information received. However, unlike computer systems, they must learn and explore using machine learning from the visual information received to provide correct interpretations of visual information. This paper presents a systematic review of papers published from 2012 to 2024 to answer how far quantum object detection and recognition research has been conducted. The methodology of this review follows a systematic literature review such as the method proposed by Kitchenham et al. The selected primary studies amounted to 29 papers from four source digital libraries. The application of quantum algorithms is more often used to improve the performance of classical computing. The quantum model category consists of 3 types, namely pure quantum, hybrid classical-quantum, and quantum-inspired ML. Hybrid classical-quantum is the most discussed model and Quantum Convolutional Neural Network is the most frequently discussed algorithm or model in image classification from 2012 to 2024. Quantum algorithms show good results and can improve the performance of classical algorithms, although currently, the ability of quantum computing is not fully optimal because the development of quantum computers is still in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era. However, with the current limited quantum computing capabilities, it can already outperform the capabilities of classical computing. Based on this, studies on quantum object detection and recognition need to be carried out so that when the full potential of quantum computing can be utilized, the user's capacity is competent.
