🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the absence of digital color representation and processing frameworks in quantum computing. We propose the Color Qubit encoding paradigm: RGB channels are mapped to multi-qubit superposition states; color-space transformations are implemented via controlled rotation gates; and quantum state encoding, gate operations, and projective measurement are executed on the IBM Quantum platform using Qiskit. Our approach establishes the first reversible mapping between quantum states and classical color values, enabling the generation and artistic manipulation of quantum-color images. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of quantum color computation, supporting applications in information visualization and quantum image processing. The framework provides a scalable technical pathway and theoretical foundation for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of quantum graphics and colorimetry.
📝 Abstract
Due to its unique computing principles, quantum computing technology will profoundly change the spectacle of color art. Focusing on experimental exploration of color qubit representation, color channel processing, and color image generation via quantum computing, this article proposes a new technical path for color computing in quantum computing environment, by which digital color is represented, operated, and measured in quantum bits, and then restored for classical computers as computing results. This method has been proved practicable as an artistic technique of color qubit representation and quantum computing via programming experiments in Qiskit and IBM Q. By building a bridge between classical chromatics and quantum graphics, quantum computers can be used for information visualization, image processing, and more color computing tasks. Furthermore, quantum computing can be expected to facilitate new color theories and artistic concepts.
