The resulting state can then be rewritten in terms of its matrix product state representation in such a way that quantum entanglement corresponds to classical correlations between different coarse-grained textures. A truncation of the MPS representation is tantamount to a compression of the original image. The resulting algorithm can be improved adding a discrete Fourier transform preprocessing and a further entropic lossless compression.4 pages, 5 figuresQuantum PhysicsMultimediaImage compression and entanglementtext
