Next-generation mobility systems—ranging from electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles to hypersonic aircraft and high-efficiency autonomous drones—require advanced aerothermal and structural optimization techniques to meet demands for safety, performance, and sustainability. Traditional computational approaches, such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and multi-physics simulation, face increasing computational burdens due to the nonlinear interactions among thermal loads, aerodynamic behavior, material deformation, and structural integrity.

The continuous growth in computational demands has led to the exploration of innovative technologies for enhancing circuit efficiency. Quantum-inspired algorithms have garnered attention due to their potential to improve optimization, processing, and energy consumption in conventional circuit technologies. Traditional circuit designs, primarily based on classical computation, face limitations in handling large-scale problems due to inefficient algorithms and hardware constraints.

In this work, we study the application of quantum computing to complex engineering simulations and decisions. Using these quantum algorithms like Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) and Grover’s Algorithm, we will optimize computational efficiency, accuracy and diversity of solutions in engineering. It was performed with a comparative analysis with classical algorithms based on performance metrics such as accuracy of solution, execution time, and optimality of the decision. Analysis of experimental results showed QAOA produces a 92.3% solution accuracy, higher than that (88.6%) of classical simulated annealing and (85.4%) genetic algorithms. Similarly, VQE achieved 27% reduction in execution time versus the classical equivalent and QSVM achieved 94.1% classification accuracy on engineering pattern recognition tasks. Grover’s Algorithm also resulted in a 3.7x faster search efficiency in decision oriented simulation. Finally, the study shows that quantum inspired models can perform efficiently on large scale and highly complex engineering problems.

Optimization problems are widely encountered in real-world domains such as energy systems, financial markets, transportation networks, supply chain logistics, manufacturing processes, and e-commerce platforms. Traditional classical computing methods often struggle to solve large combinatorial optimization problems due to the exponential growth of the solution space. Quantum computing has emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges by leveraging quantum mechanical principles such as superposition and entanglement. However, current quantum hardware is limited by noise, restricted qubit availability, and scalability issues, making fully quantum solutions impractical for large-scale applications. To overcome these limitations, this research proposes a hybrid quantum–classical supercomputing framework for solving complex optimization problems across multiple domains. The framework integrates classical data processing and optimization techniques with quantum-inspired algorithms, specifically the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), to efficiently explore large solution spaces. Real-world datasets from energy systems, supply chain logistics, financial markets, transportation networks, manufacturing processes, and e-commerce platforms are used for experimental evaluation. The results demonstrate that the hybrid optimization approach can generate higher-quality solutions and improved optimization accuracy compared to traditional classical methods. These findings highlight the potential of hybrid quantum–classical systems as an effective and scalable solution for solving complex optimization problems in modern computational applications.
Lightweight structural design requires balancing conflicting objectives: minimizing mass while maximizing crashworthiness, energy absorption, and structural integrity. Conventional optimization techniques—such as gradient-based solvers, evolutionary algorithms, and surrogate modeling—often struggle with the nonlinear, multi-objective, and combinatorial nature of structural configurations, especially in applications like automotive chassis design, aerospace components, and protective systems. This study explores the use of quantum algorithms to accelerate and enhance the optimization of lightweight structures with respect to crash energy absorption. Leveraging quantum annealing, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), and hybrid quantum–classical variational methods, the framework maps topology, material distribution, and structural geometry to quantum-encoded optimization landscapes. Early simulation results indicate that quantum-enabled solvers can identify higher-performing structural designs and navigate the trade-off between stiffness and crash energy dissipation more efficiently than classical algorithms. These findings highlight the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize structural engineering workflows by delivering faster, more robust, and more scalable optimization for next-generation lightweight designs.
