Abstract

Multi-scale modeling of coupled thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic phenomena presents one of the most computationally demanding challenges in scientific simulation. These interactions often span quantum-level processes, mesoscopic transport behavior, and macroscopic material responses, requiring integrated frameworks capable of resolving complex nonlinearity, strong coupling, and multi-physics feedback loops. Quantum computing offers a transformative pathway toward more accurate and scalable simulations of such systems. This study investigates quantum-enhanced approaches for modeling heat transfer, stress evolution, electromagnetic field propagation, and their mutual interactions across scales. By integrating quantum algorithms for partial differential equations, quantum linear solvers, and quantum-accelerated spectral and tensor representations, the research explores how quantum models can capture high-dimensional dependencies and strong correlations that classical methods struggle to resolve. The analysis highlights the potential of hybrid quantum–classical workflows to accelerate multi-physics simulation, improve predictive fidelity, and support the design of advanced materials, energy devices, and engineering systems that rely on thermal–mechanical–electromagnetic coupling.

Embedding-Based Quantum Simulations for Multi-Scale Modeling of Chemical Systems

Başar Ertonga

Embedding-based quantum simulations have emerged as a promising paradigm for bridging quantum and classical scales in complex chemical systems. As molecular processes span multiple spatial and temporal regimes—from localized electron correlation to mesoscale reactivity—traditional quantum chemistry and classical potentials often fail to describe these interactions with sufficient accuracy and scalability. This study explores hybrid embedding frameworks that integrate quantum subspace models, density functional embedding, and quantum many-body solvers within hierarchical multi-scale workflows. By partitioning chemically active regions and treating them with quantum processors while embedding them within larger classical environments, the approach improves accuracy in reaction barrier estimation, excited-state dynamics, and strongly correlated interactions. We evaluate state-of-the-art quantum embedding techniques, discuss advances in quantum resource allocation and error mitigation, and demonstrate how embedding can reduce computational depth while preserving chemically essential features. The study highlights key opportunities for developing next-generation quantum-enhanced multi-scale simulation pipelines capable of accelerating catalyst design, energy storage materials, and biochemical modeling.

Quantum-Enhanced Computational Fluid Dynamics: Hybrid Quantum–Classical Solvers for High-Fidelity Simulation of Turbulence and Multiphase Flow in Mechanical System Design

Mustafa Alp Fındıkoğlu

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) plays a central role in mechanical system design by enabling the simulation of complex flow phenomena such as turbulence, phase transitions, and fluid–structure interactions. However, high-fidelity CFD simulations—particularly those involving turbulent and multiphase flows—are often limited by the computational cost of solving large-scale, nonlinear, and high-dimensional systems of equations. This study explores the potential of quantum-enhanced computational fluid dynamics, focusing on hybrid quantum–classical solvers as a next-generation approach to overcoming these limitations. By integrating quantum algorithms with classical numerical methods, hybrid frameworks aim to accelerate key CFD tasks such as linear system solving, optimization, and high-dimensional state exploration while preserving the stability and accuracy of established solvers. The paper examines how quantum principles such as superposition and entanglement can be leveraged to improve convergence rates and design-space exploration in turbulence modeling and multiphase flow simulations. Through a conceptual and methodological analysis, this work highlights the opportunities, current constraints, and future implications of quantum-enhanced CFD for mechanical system design, offering a forward-looking perspective on the convergence of quantum computing and fluid mechanics.

Hybrid Quantum-Classical Modeling Framework for Multiscale and Multiphysics Optimization of Nanotechnology-Driven Advanced Energy Systems

Baktygul Assanova, CUMALİ YAŞAR, Eden Mamut

Recent developments in quantum computing have triggered a paradigm shift extending from algorithmic theory to applied engineering fields, particularly in the modeling and optimization of complex energy systems. This study presents a hybrid quantum-classical computational framework designed for the multiscale and multiphysics modeling of nanotechnology-driven energy systems. The illustrative case involves a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) utilizing nanostructured materials, governed by electrochemical reactions, transport phenomena, degradation mechanisms, and adaptive control dynamics. The proposed framework integrates classical numerical solvers with quantum algorithms such as the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), and Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) solver. A modular orchestration layer ensures data interoperability and coherence between quantum and classical components. This integration improves computational efficiency in high-dimensional, nonlinear problems and opens a path toward domain-specific quantum advantage in energy systems engineering. The results demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating quantum computing into classical modeling pipelines and suggest promising directions for future research in adaptive, scalable, and high-fidelity simulation environments.

Leveraging quantum computing for heat conduction analysis: A case study in thermal engineering

Pietro Asinari, Matteo Maria Piredda, Giulio Barletta +6 more

The rapid development of quantum computing is creating new opportunities in thermal sciences for the exploration and simulation of heat and mass transfer phenomena, turbulent flows, as well as plasma and multiphase flows in porous media. In particular, high-fidelity simulations of turbulent flows could benefit from quantum computing through the acceleration of linear algebra solvers. However, the practical performance of current quantum computers remains limited. Major challenges include noise and fault tolerance—or, at least, effective error mitigation—as well as the development of improved quantum and hybrid quantum–classical algorithms, the tuning of algorithms for specific problem classes, and the management of both cloud-based platforms and physical quantum hardware. This work presents a case study on heat conduction as a paradigmatic test case to promote the exploration of quantum computing for thermal science. Innovative algorithmic strategies are discussed, supported by numerical and experimental case studies, and the performance of real quantum hardware (IQM Lagrange at Torino) is compared with classical computational methods. In particular, preliminary investigations on this quantum hardware yielded a mean nodal outcome error of up to 14% for the problem under consideration. In the current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era, these numerical results obtained on real quantum hardware are preliminary but provide valuable insights for guiding further hardware development, an effort that also requires advanced metrology. The paper highlights opportunities, current challenges, and future directions, with a particular emphasis on engineering applications.
