Applied Math PhD student Mercy Amankwah published a first-author paper on Quantum pixel representations in Scientific Reports.
MAMS PhD Student Mercy Amankwah has authored a paper in Nature Scientific Reports https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-11024-y). The article, titled “Quantum pixel representations and compression for N-dimensional images”, introduces a novel and uniform framework (called QPIXL) which may be used to represent quantum images. QPIXL overaches existing popular methods in the literature...
