Over the past decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has provided enormous new possibilities and opportunities, but also new demands and requirements for software systems. In particular, Machine Learning (ML) has proven useful in almost every vertical application domain. In the decade ahead, an unprecedented paradigm shift from classical computing towards Quantum Computing (QC), with perhaps a quantum-classical hybrid model, is expected. We argue that the Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) paradigm can be an enabler and a facilitator, when it comes to the quantum and the quantum-classical hybrid applications. This includes not only automated code generation, but also automated model checking and verification, as well as model analysis in the early design phases, and model-to-model transformations both at the design-time and at the runtime. In this paper, the vision is focused on MDE for Quantum AI, particularly Quantum ML for the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) applications.

The convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining the boundaries of computational engineering, offering an unprecedented capacity for optimization, simulation, and design automation. This research introduces Quantum-Driven Computer-Aided Engineering (Q-CAE), a hybrid AI–quantum framework developed to accelerate design space exploration and enhance the precision of optimization in complex engineering systems. Q-CAE combines the analytical rigor of quantum algorithms with the adaptability of AI-driven optimization models to address the challenges of high-dimensional, nonlinear, and interdependent design parameters that traditionally strain classical computing resources. Within this framework, quantum subroutines such as Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithms (QAOA) and Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC) are employed to efficiently search large solution spaces, while AI models leverage reinforcement learning and neural networks to predict optimal configurations and refine performance iteratively. This hybrid approach enables dynamic learning from multi-objective data sets, optimizing energy efficiency, material properties, and system reliability. Participants engaged with Q-CAE applications gained first-hand experience in algorithmic modeling, quantum heuristics, and AI-driven engineering design, cultivating interdisciplinary skills essential for future computational innovation. Results indicate that hybrid Q-CAE systems can significantly reduce computational time and enhance accuracy compared to traditional CAE workflows. The study demonstrates how integrating quantum principles into engineering design pipelines can transform modern computational methodologies, setting the foundation for autonomous, intelligent, and quantum-enhanced engineering systems.
In order to handle the increasing complexity of software systems, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been applied to various areas of software engineering, including requirements engineering, coding, testing, and debugging. This has led to the emergence of AI for Software Engineering as a distinct research area within the field of software engineering. With the development of quantum computing, the field of Quantum AI (QAI) is arising, enhancing the performance of classical AI and holding significant potential for solving classical software engineering problems. Some initial applications of QAI in software engineering have already emerged, such as test case optimization. However, the path ahead remains open, offering ample opportunities to solve complex software engineering problems cost-effectively with QAI. To this end, this article presents a roadmap towards the application of QAI in software engineering. Specifically, we consider two of the main categories of QAI, i.e., quantum optimization algorithms and quantum machine learning. For each software engineering phase, we discuss how these QAI approaches can address some of the tasks associated with that phase. Moreover, we provide an overview of some of the possible challenges that need to be addressed to make the application of QAI for software engineering successful.
In this paper, we conduct a systematic literature review of (semi-) automated approaches to Quantum Software Engineering (QSE) and Quantum Artificial Intelligence (QAI). Prior work in the literature indicated that both Software Engineering (SE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) practices may become more efficient by using (semi-) automated approaches. This also holds in the Quantum Computing (QC), Quantum Information Science (QIS), and Quantum Engineering (QE) world, as well as in hybrid quantum-classical applications. In fact, automation is even more crucial in such cases since there is a limited number of developers and AI experts (e.g., data scientists) who possess the required knowledge and skills in QC. Moreover, in hybrid setups, automation may help decide what part of the application should be deployed on quantum hardware and on which of the available quantum platforms, if applicable. This can be a significant help to achieve productivity leap and efficiency even for subject matter experts. Unlike prior literature reviews and surveys, this work focuses on automation in SE and AI for quantum and hybrid quantum-classical applications and identifies the recent trends and future directions through a systematic literature review. We are interested in methods and techniques that can enable a broader development and deployment of quantum and hybrid AI-enabled software systems.
