Three-dimensional quantum wavelet transforms

A new multi-level three-dimensional quantum wavelet transform theory is proposed to implement the wavelet transform for quantum videos, offering exponential speed-up over classical counterparts. The proposed wavelet transforms have better compression performance for quantum videos than two-dimension quantum wavelet transforms.
