Key words for expertise:
Image compression, advanced video coding, H.264, SVC, packet video, transmission of video over IP networks, image processing, adiabatic computation, quantum annealing, quantum information processing, quantum measurement.
Vision for participation in the QI center:
Together with Eliahu Cohen of Tel-Aviv University, we would like to contribute to the QI
center on two levels:
· Using quantum methods such as quantum adiabatic computation, quantum annealing,
Quantum Monte-Carlo for various optimization tasks in classical signal processing, e.g.
image restoration, signal denoising, network optimization and more.
· Employing classical models for signal processing in the field of quantum information. We
wish to adopt known algorithms for secure communication, coding and compression to make
them fruitful also in the quantum realm.
