Quantum Techniques for Image Processing

Quantum computing is revolutionizing every field of knowledge. With advent of affordable quantum computing almost possible the importance and relevance of quantum computing for all the recent research trends cannot be overemphasized. We have already witnessed quantum analogues of most celebrated classical algorithms starting from Shor’s algorithm for integer factorization, Grover’s search algorithms for unstructured database. Quantum Image Processing is an emerging field borne by applying quantum computing techniques to the Image Processing problems. This paper attempts to summarize and review the state of development in the field of Quantum Image Processing. All major quantum computing platforms have been presented, At the end a discussion on the current trends and future possibilities is presented.
