Abstract

Multimedia refers to content that uses a combination of different content forms. It includes two main medias: image and audio. However, by contrast with the rapid development of quantum image processing, quantum audio almost never been studied. In order to change this status, a quantum representation of digital audio (QRDA) is proposed in this paper to present quantum audio. QRDA uses two entangled qubit sequences to store the audio amplitude and time information. The two qubit sequences are both in basis state: |0〉 and |1〉. The QRDA audio preparation from initial state |0〉 is given to store an audio in quantum computers. Then some exemplary quantum audio processing operations are performed to indicate QRDA’s usability.
