Book excerpt: This program investigated the ability to perform image enhancement, based upon diffusion processing, on a purely quantum or hybrid classical-quantum (type-II) computer. Given that image processing based upon solving partial differential equations has become more prevalent and developed in recent years and given that the fundamental equation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the Schrodinger equation, may be viewed as diffusion in imaginary time, quantum information may provide practical speedups for image processing tasks. This research investigated which diffusion and related Schrodinger equations may be simulated using quantum lattice gas algorithms (QLGAs), which are attractive because of their ability to simulate non-linear phenomena. Extension of QLGAs to perform selective image smoothing in support of image enhancement has been developed and demonstrated for multi-dimensional as well as anisotropic diffusion algorithms.
