• Abstract: We propose a quantum-assisted reconstruction framework for high-resolution tomographic imaging that significantly reduces both qubit requirements and radiation exposure. Conventional quantum reconstruction methods require solving QUBO (Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization) problems over full-resolution image grids, which limits scalability under current hardware constraints. Our method addresses this by combining sinogram downscaling with region-wise iterative refinement, allowing reconstruction to begin from a reduced-resolution sinogram and image, then progressively upscaled and optimized region by region. Experimental validation on binary and integer-valued Shepp-Logan phantoms demonstrates accurate reconstructions under both dense and sparsely sampled projection conditions using significantly fewer qubits. We observed that nearest-neighbor interpolation may cause edge artifacts that hinder convergence, which can be mitigated by smoother interpolation and Gaussian filtering. Notably, reconstructing a 500 by 500 image from a 50 by 50 initialization demonstrates the potential for up to 90% reduction in projection data, corresponding to a similar reduction in radiation dose. These findings highlight the practicality and scalability of the proposed method for quantum-enhanced tomographic reconstruction, offering a promising direction for low-dose, high-fidelity imaging with current-generation quantum devices.

  Low-bit quantization has become widespread for compressing image super-resolution (SR) models for edge deployment. It is notorious that low-bit quantization degrades the accuracy of SR models compared to their full-precision (FP) counterparts. We present a dual-stage low-bit post-training quantization (PTQ) method for image super-resolution, namely 2DQuant, which achieves efficient and accurate SR under low-bit quantization.
