  ABSTRACT: A quantum image searching method is proposed based on the probability distributions of the readouts from the quantum measurements. It is achieved by using low computational resources which are only a single Hadamard gate combined with m + 1 quantum measurement operations. To validate the proposed method, a simulation experiment is used where the image with the highest similarity value of 0.93 to the particular test image is retrieved as the search result from 4 × 4 binary image database. The proposal provides a basic step for designing a search engine on quantum computing devices where the image in the database is retrieved based on its similarity to the test image.
