Application of quantum mechanical computational techniques

V. Astuti, K. Hans Raj

A Quantum Evolutionary Computational Technique (QECT) is proposed in this paper. The approach is based on the integration of quantum computing concepts such as superposition of states, application of quantum gate with the concept of genetic algorithm and simulated annealing. To demonstrate effectiveness and applicability of QECT, simulations are carried out on five Benchmark Test functions, which are well-known combinatorial optimization problems. These exemplify that the proposed algorithm has a capability to obtain near global optimum, without premature convergence unlike other variants. QECT has the strong capability to explore the nonlinear search regions and it is a step forward in the area of hybrid stochastic search. It is applied on a problem of mechanical engineering design of a pressure vessel. The application of proposed heuristic technique in mechanical engineering design is a step towards agility in design and manufacturing.

The study of computational processes based on the laws of quantum mechanics has led to the discovery of new algorithms, cryptographic techniques, and communication primitives. This book explores quantum computation from the perspective of the branch of theoretical computer science known as semantics, as an alternative to the more well-known studies of algorithmics, complexity theory, and information theory. It collects chapters from leading researchers in the field, discussing the theory of quantum programming languages, logics and tools for reasoning about quantum systems, and novel approaches to the foundations of quantum mechanics. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers in quantum information and computation, as well as those in semantics, who want to learn about a new field arising from the application of semantic techniques to quantum information and computation.

Quantum computing stands to transform computational paradigms when quantum mechanical behavior can be used to solve problems which are otherwise intractable to classical methods. This paper is a detailed study on quantum computing, with the unification of fundamental theories and practical applications, considering cryptography, optimization, machine learning, and drug discovery. It serves as a liaison between theoretical aspects and hardware implementation, focusing on codes, computational techniques, and multi-platform use. By overcoming the limitations of the current research, this study provides commercial feasibility and perspectives for quantum techniques. Case studies and architectural insights enrich comprehension for both the academic and the industrial audiences.
