Integration of a Quantum Voting Scheme into Grayscale Images Using the Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation and Qiskit Framework

Figure 2

The proposed voting scheme. (a) Step 1: the voters first receive a grayscale image from the server. (b) Step 2: the voters create the NEQR representation of the pixels in the corners of the image. For each voter, the qubits representing the LSB denote the operation gate that needs to be applied to the voter’s value circuit (the superdense coding circuit) so that the server can retrieve the actual vote. (c) Step 3: once each voter finishes setting the value qubit, he can set the validation qubit to ; this indicates to the server that the voter expressed his option and can now add it, after the measurement, to the final count.
