Despite this promise, the practical application of quantum computing to visual computing faces numerous challenges, including the complexity of quantum algorithms and the limitations of current quantum hardware. These challenges underscore the necessity for focused research and collaboration in this interdisciplinary area. This Special Issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, "Quantum Visual Computing," aims at drawing attention to these challenges and bringing together pioneering research at the intersection of quantum and visual computing. By fostering dialogue and innovation between these fields, we hope to inspire new solutions and advance the state of the art in both domains.enBranche: Information TechnologyResearch Line: Computer graphics (CG)Research Line: Computer vision (CV)LTA: Machine intelligence, algorithms, and data structures (incl. semantics)LTA: Generation, capture, processing, and output of images and 3D modelsQuantum computingVisual computingInformation visualizationComputer graphics applicationsComputer gameseditorial
