“…Following that, in Section VII, efforts to utilize both quantum audio models (i.e. QRDA and FRQA) in quantum audio steganography (QAS) [47] and quantum endpoint detection (QEPD) [48] are recounted. Finally, the third part of the review (Sections VIII and IX) presents a brief inquisition regarding the requirements and technologies needed to support the realization of talking color quantum movies.…”

“…security. This interest has extended to quantum movies where security protocols, including steganography [42], [47], encryption and decryption [41] have been proposed. Thus far, a majority of the available efforts in quantum movie security protocols are based on the MCQI-based CFQM movie representation (CFQM M ) as reviewed in the remainder of this section.…”

“…Generally speaking, quantum steganography is considered as still being in the early stage of its development, and, even more so, are its application in quantum image processing (QIP). Nevertheless, as a covert means of communication, quantum steganography can be realized by exploiting the physical characteristics of single-or multi-particle quantum states [47].…”

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.

Efforts on enhancing the ghost imaging speed and quality are intensified when the debate around the nature of ghost imaging (quantum vs. classical) is suspended for a while. Accordingly, most of the studies these years in the field fall into the improvement regarding these two targets by utilizing the different imaging mediums. Nevertheless, back to the raging debate occurred but with different focus, to overcome the inherent difficulties in the classical imaging domain, if we are able to utilize the superiority that quantum information science offers us, the ghost imaging experiment may be implemented more practically. In this study, a quantum circuit implementation of ghost imaging experiment is proposed, where the speckle patterns and phase mask are encoded by utilizing the quantum representation of images. To do this, we formulated several quantum models, i.e. quantum accumulator, quantum multiplier, and quantum divider. We believe this study will provide a new impetus to explore the implementation of ghost imaging using quantum computing resources.

“…Audio steganography is defined as the Cover Audio + Secret data = Stego-audio signal [6][7][8]. The essential requirements for audio steganography are: (1) the secret data should not be perceptible to humans [6,7]; (2) it should maximize the hiding capacity; and (3) preferably, the hidden data should be encrypted.…”

A Novel Steganography Approach for Audio Files

We present a novel robust and secure steganography technique to hide images into audio files aiming at increasing the carrier medium capacity. The audio files are in the standard WAV format, which is based on the LSB algorithm, while images are compressed by the GMPR technique which is based on the Discrete Cosine Transform and high-frequency minimization encoding algorithm. The method involves compression-encryption of an image file by the GMPR technique followed by hiding it into audio data by appropriate bit substitution. The maximum number of bits without significant effect on audio signal for LSB audio steganography is 6 LSBs. The encrypted image bits are hidden into variable and multiple LSB layers in the proposed method. Experimental results from observed listening tests show that there is no significant difference between the stego-audio reconstructed from the novel technique and the original signal. A performance evaluation has been carried out according to quality measurement criteria of signal-to-noise ratio and peak signal-to-noise ratio.
