Abstract
The application of quantum computing to the field of image processing has produced several promising applications: quantum image representation techniques have been developed showing how, by taking advantage of quantum properties like entanglement and superposition, many image processing algorithms could have an exponential speed-up in comparison to their"classical"counterparts. In this paper, after briefly discussing some of the main quantum image representation methods, we propose an improved version of a quantum edge detection algorithm.
