Abstract: Quantum computing is a multidisciplinary field comprising aspects of computer science, physics, and mathematics that utilize quantum mechanics to solve complex problems faster than on classical computers. Quantum computers are available today on the cloud. However, they are considered “Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum” (NISQ) computers with a small number of quantum bits (qubits) and limited performance due to short coherence time and noisy gates. However, quantum computers are constantly improving, and it is possible that they could accelerate video processing workflows in the future. This article will give a short overview of quantum computing basics, some methods for representing images in qubits, and describe some research on potential video applications of quantum computing.
