“…As precursor and natural extensions to the silent quantum movie models highlighted earlier, the notion and need for quantum audio was first mooted in [38] to support the realization of talking quantum movies. Although still unaccomplished, the necessary first steps, including representations for quantum audio signals have been proposed in [44] and [45] (later revised in [46]). Wang's quantum representation for digital audio (QRDA) [44] holds the title of being the progenitor of quantum audio signal processing (QASP).…”

“…Using two qubit sequences, the QRDA fuses audio information into quantum mechanical descriptions of quantum information processing. Convinced that the tightlybounded encoding used in the QRDA could hinder its deployment for certain applications, Yan et al proposed a more intuitive, unbounded and graphic model to represent quantum audio signals called the flexible representation for quantum audio (FRQA) [45], [46]. Formulated to resemble the mathematical rigor of its kindred, the FRQI quantum image model [16], the FRQA provides a conceptual waveform-like description for quantum audio signals.…”

“…Therefore, at best, the resulting movie would be monochrome (or black and white) in nature. Second, since, until recently [44]- [46], there was no such thing as quantum audio; Iliyasu's QMF would produce silent (or mute) movies. For lack of any euphemism, it is incontrovertible that black and white silent movies are not technologies for the 21st century.…”

Quantum computation and quantum information science have transmuted from classroom conjectures and demonstrations usually confined to the laboratory into exciting sub-disciplines with potential for profound impacts in information and communication security, device miniaturization, cosmology, Internet, and so on. Recent developments in both areas have further changed the landscape of future computing and information processing technologies. Encouraged by this, both fields have witnessed interests from professional bodies, notably, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) via the IEEE P7130 working group on standards for quantum computation as well as similar interests from big technology companies (Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc.) as well as those from national and regional (China, European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and so on) governments. With all these activities, presently, interest in and funding for quantum computation and quantum information science are at their highest points ever, thus heralding the inevitable feat of physical realization of quantum computing hardware. Considering the ubiquity and indispensability of imaging and video technologies in our lives today, it is paramount that the utility of any future computing paradigm be measured in terms of its ability to advance and guarantee perpetuity in terms of the efficacy of such technologies. Quantum image processing (QIP), a sub-discipline mainly focused on using quantum computing hardware for the attainment of the aforementioned objectives, has emerged as one of the most promising fields in the quantum computing and quantum information science domains. Its extension to realize quantum movies (or videos), which is the main subject of this disquisition, is an even newer prospect. Consequently, the main objectives of this review are twofold. First, targeting enthusiasts and beginners in the quantum computing field, the treatise provides both an essential background on the rudiments of QIP as well as an exhaustive overview of all literature related to quantum movies and/or videos. Second, for the benefit of those already pursuing research in the QIP sub-discipline, the commentary provides useful insights, allegories, and conjectures to support the integration of other media, such as quantum audio and so on, for the realization of colored talking quantum movies (or video). On the whole, the review is intended to serve as an avenue to invigorate activities tailored toward accelerating the realization of QIP-based quantum technologies.

“…Like its use to encode quantum images [13], movies [19], and audio [23], utilising quantum mechanics to process emotion imposes the need to first store the emotions as quantum states. This is accomplished during the initialisation procedure for QES, which will now be described.…”

“…This way, the information can be easily recovered during the emotion retrieval whence each emotion is recovered individually. Similar to their use in [23,24] and discussion in Section 2.1, two quantum measurement operations Γ and M (in Equation (22)) provide the mechanism to retrieve emotion states from 2 m epochs (or time periods):…”

Quantum Structure for Modelling Emotion Space of Robots

Utilising the properties of quantum mechanics, i.e., entanglement, parallelism, etc., a quantum structure is proposed for representing and manipulating emotion space of robots. This quantum emotion space (QES) provides a mechanism to extend emotion interpretation to the quantum computing domain whereby fewer resources are required and, by using unitary transformations, it facilitates easier tracking of emotion transitions over different intervals in the emotion space. The QES is designed as an intuitive and graphical visualisation of the emotion state as a curve in a cuboid, so that an “emotion sensor” could be used to track the emotion transition as well as its manipulation. This ability to use transition matrices to convey manipulation of emotions suggests the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach. Our study is primarily influenced by two developments. First, the massive amounts of data, complexity of control, planning and reasoning required for today’s sophisticated automation processes necessitates the need to equip robots with powerful sensors to enable them adapt and operate in all kinds of environments. Second, the renewed impetus and inevitable transition to the quantum computing paradigm suggests that quantum robots will have a role to play in future data processing and human-robot interaction either as standalone units or as part of larger hybrid systems. The QES proposed in this study provides a quantum mechanical formulation for quantum emotion as well as a platform to process, track, and manipulate instantaneous transitions in a robot’s emotion. The new perspective will open broad areas, such as applications in emotion recognition and emotional intelligence for quantum robots.

By the time of writing, quantum audio still is a very young area of study, even within the quantum signal processing community. This chapter introduces the state of the art in quantum audio and discusses methods for the quantum representation of audio signals. Currently, no quantum representation strategy claims to be the best one for audio applications. Each one presents advantages and disadvantages. It can be argued that future quantum audio representation schemes will make use of multiple strategies aimed at specific applications. The authors also discuss ... . NOTE:This is an unedited abridged version of the pre-submission draft of a chapter, with the same title, published in the book Quantum Computer Music: Foundations, Methods and Advanced Concepts, by E. R. . Please refer to the version in this book for application examples and a discussion on sound synthesis methods based on quantum audio representation and their potential for developing new types of musical instruments.
