- © 2015 MTS.Quantum computing is an interdisciplinary field of physics and computer science whose goal is to harness the quantum-mechanical properties of Nature, in order to develop both hardware and software that overcome their classical counterparts. Quantum computing is now an established field of science & engineering and, consequently, it is constantly reaching out new application areas in order to test its state-of-the-art algorithms and hardware. Quantum Image Processing is an emerging field of quantum computing whose aims include novel quantum algorithms for storing, processing and retrieving visual information.
