Summary
The use of quantum information theory and the understanding of the information it conveys seems to be one of the most challenging and rapidly developing research areas at present. In this article we concentrate on the implications quantum information theory might have on rather classical problems that are rephrased and embedded into a quantum space. Especially, the area of signal and image processing seems to be well suited for this approach. We give an example of mapping colour spaces into the quantum space and show that the resulting quantum systems are highly beneficial when dealing with this kind of data.
Zusammenfassung
Die Quanteninformationstheorie ist ein herausforderndes und sich sehr rasch entwickelndes Forschungsgebiet. In diesem Artikel diskutieren die Autoren einige Implikationen, die die Ergebnisse dieser Forschung auf klassische Problemstellungen haben können, sofern diese in den Quantenraum eingebettet werden. Derartige Einbettungen scheinen insbesondere im Bereich der Signal- und Bildverarbeitung besonders vorteilhaft. Beispielhaft wird dies an der Einbettung von Farbräumen in den Quantenraum gezeigt. Die daraus resultierenden Quantensysteme ermöglichen einen besonders einfachen Umgang mit den gegebenen Farbdaten.
