Quantum computational intelligence for traveltime seismic inversion

Anton Simen Albino, Otto Menegasso Pires, Peterson Nogueira +2 more

Quantum computing is in its early stage of implementation. Its capacity has been growing in the last years but its application in several fields of sciences is still restricted to oversimplified problems. In this stage, it is important to identify the situations where quantum computing presents the most promising results to be prepared when the technology is ready to be deployed. The geophysics field has several areas which are limited by the current computation capability, among them the so-called seismic inversion is one of the most important ones, which are strong candidates to benefit from quantum computing. In this work, we implement an approach for traveltime seismic inversion through a near-term quantum algorithm based on gradient-free quantum circuit learning. We demonstrate that a quantum computer with thousands of qubits, even if noisy, can solve geophysical problems. In addition, we compared the convergence of the method with the variational quantum algorithms.

QFT-Based Simulation: Applications in Seismic Attributes and Convolution

Caio Leão, Daniel E. Revelo, Yan Alef Chagas Silva +1 more

Due to the increasing volume and complexity of seismic datasets, seismic processing is confronted with increasing computational demands, which necessitate the implementation of innovative solutions such as quantum computing. This study applies the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT), implemented via the Qiskit framework, to two geophysical applications: computing instantaneous seismic attributes and performing Multi-Dimensional Convolution (MDC). We present a workflow for preparing seismic data for QFT processing, demonstrating results with accuracy comparable to conventional Fourier Transform (FT)-based methods. Although executed on a quantum simulator, the approach is compatible with quantum hardware, promising significant performance gains through qubit superposition. This work offers a new framework for integrating quantum algorithms into geophysical processing workflows, highlighting their potential to improve efficiency and scalability as quantum technology advances.
