Abstract
A framework that introduces chromatic considerations to earlier descriptions of movies on quantum computers is proposed. This chromatic framework for quantum movies (CFQM) integrates chromatic components of individual frames (each a multi-channel quantum image- MCQI state) that make up the movie, while each frame is tagged to a time component of a quantum register (i.e., a movie strip). The formulation of the CFQM framework and properties inherent to the MCQI images facilitate the execution of a cortege of carefully formulated transformations including the frame-to-frame (FTF), color of interest (COI), and subblock swapping (SBS) operations that are not realizable on other quantum movie formats. These innovative transformations are deployed in the creation of digital movie-like montages on the CFQM framework. Future studies could explore additional MCQI-related operations and their use to execute more advanced montage applications.
