| Summary: | Reliable transmission of high-quality video over wireless channels is challenged by fading and noise, which degrade visual quality and disrupt temporal continuity. To address these issues, this paper proposes a quantum communication framework that integrates quantum superposition with multi-input multi-output (MIMO) spatial diversity techniques to enhance robustness and efficiency in dynamic video transmission. The proposed method converts compressed videos into classical bitstreams, which are then channel-encoded and quantum-encoded into qubit superposition states. These states are transmitted over a <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>2</mn><mo>×</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> MIMO system employing varied diversity schemes to mitigate the effects of multipath fading and noise. At the receiver, a quantum decoder reconstructs the classical information, followed by channel decoding to retrieve the video data, and the source decoder reconstructs the final video. Simulation results demonstrate that the quantum MIMO system significantly outperforms equivalent-bandwidth classical MIMO frameworks across diverse signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions, achieving a peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) up to 39.12 dB, structural similarity index (SSIM) up to 0.9471, and video multi-method assessment fusion (VMAF) up to 92.47, with improved error resilience across various group of picture (GOP) formats, highlighting the potential of quantum MIMO communication for enhancing the reliability and quality of video delivery in next-generation wireless networks. |
