Abstract
Ray tracing algorithm simulates the physical movements of a huge amount of rays to render a high quality image, in which the tracing procedure for each ray can be implemented in parallel. By leveraging the inherent parallelism of quantum computing, we propose a quantum ray tracing algorithm, which is proved to have a quadratic speedup over the classical path tracing.
