Abstract
Quantum communication offers unparalleled reliability and efficiency, making it a promising solution for high-quality media transmission. To explore this potential, we propose a quantum communication system for image transmission, addressing the challenges of transmitting high-quality image data over error-prone channels. A crucial aspect of advancing this field is quantum channel coding, specific to quantum systems. Therefore, this research evaluates the performance of low-complex three-qubit quantum error correction code for image transmission over noisy channels. JPEG and HEIF images are encoded using three-qubit error correction method and compared to 1/3 rate polar codes with equivalent bandwidth. Results show that the three-qubit error correction code significantly outperforms advanced classical polar codes in both classical and quantum domains, achieving a maximum PSNR of 64.5 dB (SSIM = 0.9997) in HEIF and 58.3 dB (SSIM = 0.9994) in JPEG. These findings underscore its potential as a robust solution for quantum communication in media transmission.
量子通信提供了无与伦比的可靠性和效率,使其成为高质量媒体传输的有前途的解决方案。为了探索这一潜力,我们提出了一种用于图像传输的量子通信系统,解决了在容易出错的信道上传输高质量图像数据的挑战。推进这一领域的一个关键方面是量子信道编码,特定于量子系统。因此,本研究评估了低复杂度三量子位量子纠错码在噪声信道上的图像传输性能。JPEG和HEIF图像采用三量子位纠错方法进行编码,并与同等带宽的1/3速率极化码进行比较。结果表明,三量子比特纠错码在经典域和量子域均明显优于先进的经典极性码,在HEIF和JPEG中分别实现了64.5 dB (SSIM = 0.9997)和58.3 dB (SSIM = 0.9994)的最大PSNR。这些发现强调了它作为媒体传输中量子通信的强大解决方案的潜力。
