Quantum Image Representation Methods Using Qutrits
Quantum Image Processing (QIP) is a recent highlight in the Quantum Computing
field. All previous methods for representing the images as quantum states were
defined using qubits. One Quantum Image Representation (QIR) method using
qutrits is present in the literature. Inspired by the qubit methods and the
higher state-space available for qutrits, multiple QIR methods using qutrits
are defined. First, the ternary quantum gates required for the representations
are described and then the implementation details for five qutrit-based QIR
methods are given. All the methods have been simulated in software, and example
circuits are provided.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figures, 1 tabl
Importance of Explicit Vectorization for CPU and GPU Software Performance
Much of the current focus in high-performance computing is on
multi-threading, multi-computing, and graphics processing unit (GPU) computing.
However, vectorization and non-parallel optimization techniques, which can
often be employed additionally, are less frequently discussed. In this paper,
we present an analysis of several optimizations done on both central processing
unit (CPU) and GPU implementations of a particular computationally intensive
Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm. Explicit vectorization on the CPU and the
equivalent, explicit memory coalescing, on the GPU are found to be critical to
achieving good performance of this algorithm in both environments. The
fully-optimized CPU version achieves a 9x to 12x speedup over the original CPU
version, in addition to speedup from multi-threading. This is 2x faster than
the fully-optimized GPU version.Comment: 17 pages, 17 figure
A Spectral Theory for Tensors
In this paper we propose a general spectral theory for tensors. Our proposed
factorization decomposes a tensor into a product of orthogonal and scaling
tensors. At the same time, our factorization yields an expansion of a tensor as
a summation of outer products of lower order tensors . Our proposed
factorization shows the relationship between the eigen-objects and the
generalised characteristic polynomials. Our framework is based on a consistent
multilinear algebra which explains how to generalise the notion of matrix
hermicity, matrix transpose, and most importantly the notion of orthogonality.
Our proposed factorization for a tensor in terms of lower order tensors can be
recursively applied so as to naturally induces a spectral hierarchy for
tensors.Comment: The paper is an updated version of an earlier versio
