A New Framework Containing Convolution and Pooling Circuits for Image Processing and Deep Learning Applications with Quantum Computing Implementation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The resource need for deep learning and quantum computers' high computing power potential encourage collaboration between the two fields. Today, variational quantum circuits are used to perform the convolution operation with quantum computing. However, the results produced by variational circuits do not show a direct resemblance to the classical convolution operation. Because classical data is encoded into quantum data with their exact values in value-encoded methods, in contrast to variational quantum circuits, arithmetical operations can be applied with high accuracy. In this study, value-encoded quantum circuits for convolution and pooling operations are proposed to apply deep learning in quantum computers in a traditional and proven way. To construct the convolution and pooling operations, some modules such as addition, multiplication, division, and comparison are created. In addition, a window-based framework for quantum image processing applications is proposed. The generated convolution and pooling circuits are simulated on the IBM QISKIT simulator in parallel thanks to the proposed framework. The obtained results are verified by the expected results. Due to the limitations of quantum simulators and computers in the NISQ era, the used grayscale images are resized to 8x8 and the resolution of the images is reduced to 3 qubits. With developing the quantum technologies, the proposed approach can be applied for bigger and higher resolution images. Although the proposed method causes more qubit usage and circuit depth compared to variational convolutional circuits, the results they produce are exactly the same as the classical convolution process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
