An Optimized Quantum Representation for Color Digital Images

With the continuous development of quantum computation, quantum mechanics has been widely exploited to meet the storage requirement of high definition image. In this paper, an optimized quantum representation for color digital images (OCQR) is proposed, which makes full use of quantum superposition characteristic to store the RGB value of every pixel. Compared with latest novel quantum representation of color digital images (NCQI), OCQR uses nearly one-third times the qubits to store the pixel value. Meanwhile, some image processing operations related to color information can be executed more simultaneously and conveniently based on OCQR. Therefore, the proposed OCQR model is better suited to represent the quantum color image.
