Investigating the usefulness of Quantum Blur. (arXiv:2112.01646v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)

Though some years remain before quantum computation can outperform
conventional computation, it already provides resources that can be used for
exploratory purposes in various fields. This includes certain tasks for
procedural generation in computer games, music and art. The so-called `Quantum
Blur' method represents the first step on this journey, providing a simple
proof-of-principle example of how quantum software can be useful in these areas
today. Here we analyse the `Quantum Blur' method and compare it to conventional
blur effects. …
