The Security of Information Systems and Image Processing Supported by the Quantum Computer: A review

Abstract

The knowledge and understanding of the technology of quantum computers and their superiority over classical computers are still insufficient or uncertain for many communities of researchers, manufacturers, investors and the general public. For this reason, we try in this article to present and explain some of the basic concepts of quantum computers. We explain how the quantum phenomena may be employed to conceive a quantum computer by defining the qubit that will represent the data entity corresponding to the bit in the classical computer and how this computer can effectively be powerful. We address the issue of strengthening the information system security through a simulation of a spy hunter and the importance of image processing security using the quantum computer, which will minimize the data processing time regardless of the amount of data to be processed. The security of the images will lead us to introduce the new prospects of using multilevel systems instead of binary systems, which will exponentially increase the gain in the size of the memory used.
