Cavity-Enhanced Collective Quantum Processing with Polarization-Encoded Qubits

We introduce a cavity-enhanced optical architecture for collective quantum processing in which logical qubits are encoded in the polarization subspace of recirculating intracavity modes. The physical carrier and computational degree of freedom are explicitly separated: harmonic cavity bundles provide a stable resonant substrate, while programmable polarization transformations implement single-qubit operations. A polarization-selective nonlinear interaction in the entanglement region generates tunable controlled-phase gates, enabling a universal gate set. A parameter-scaling analysis shows that order-unity conditional phases are attainable in centimeter-scale cavities using experimentally accessible solid-state nonlinear media, without requiring extreme nonlinear coefficients, millisecond photon lifetimes, or sub-hertz laser stabilization. The results indicate that resonant recirculation provides a physically plausible platform for cavity based collective quantum architectures.

FRQI Pairs method for image classification using Quantum Recurrent Neural Network

This study aims to introduce the FRQI Pairs method to a wider audience, a novel approach to image classification using Quantum Recurrent Neural Networks (QRNN) with Flexible Representation for Quantum Images (FRQI). The study highlights an innovative approach to use quantum encoded data for an image classification task, suggesting that such quantum-based approaches could significantly reduce the complexity of quantum algorithms. Comparison of the FRQI Pairs method with contemporary techniques underscores the promise of integrating quantum computing principles with neural network architectures for the development of quantum machine learning.

Deep learning as a tool for quantum error reduction in quantum image processing

Despite the limited availability and quantum volume of quantum computers, quantum image representation is a widely researched area. Currently developed methods use quantum entanglement to encode information about pixel positions. These methods range from using the angle parameter of the rotation gate (e.g., the Flexible Representation of Quantum Images, FRQI), sequences of qubits (e.g., Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation, NEQR), or the angle parameter of the phase shift gates (e.g., Local Phase Image Quantum Encoding, LPIQE) for storing color information. All these methods are significantly affected by decoherence and other forms of quantum noise, which is an inseparable part of quantum computing in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era. These phenomena can highly influence the measurements and result in extracted images that are visually dissimilar to the originals. Because this process is at its foundation quantum, the computational reversal of this process is possible. There are many methods for error correction, mitigation, and reduction, but all of them use quantum computer time or additional qubits to achieve the desired result. We report the successful use of a generative adversarial network trained for image-to-image translation, in conjunction with Phase Distortion Unraveling error reduction method, for reducing overall error in images encoded using LPIQE.
