Systematic Mapping and Critical Evaluation of Quantum and Quantum-Inspired Optimization Algorithms in the Context of Large-Scale Operations Research Applications

Alara Onur

The growing intersection of quantum computing and operations research (OR) has opened new avenues for solving high-dimensional optimization problems that remain computationally intractable under classical paradigms. This study presents a systematic mapping and critical evaluation of both quantum and quantum-inspired optimization algorithms, with a particular focus on their scalability, convergence efficiency, and applicability to large-scale operations research challenges. Through a structured review of contemporary literature and empirical implementations, the research categorizes existing algorithms into key families—such as quantum annealing, variational quantum algorithms (VQAs), and hybrid quantum–classical frameworks—while identifying trends in algorithmic performance across industrial logistics, network design, and resource allocation models. The systematic mapping process was conducted collaboratively, emphasizing transparent data collection, inclusion–exclusion criteria, and reproducible methodology following evidence-based review standards. Critical evaluation highlighted the need for unified performance metrics, improved hybridization strategies, and enhanced interpretability in quantum-inspired heuristics. The research also provided valuable insight into refining methodological rigor, including bibliometric analysis, coding frameworks, and academic presentation of findings. Ultimately, this work contributes to the ongoing dialogue between quantum computation and operations research, demonstrating how quantum-enhanced optimization can accelerate decision-making processes in complex, data-intensive environments.

A systematic literature review of quantum object detection and recognition: research trend, datasets, topics and methods

Ifran Lindu Mahargya, Guruh Fajar Shidik, Affandy +2 more

Quantum computing is a computational process that utilizes quantum mechanics features, namely superposition, interference, and entanglement, in information processing, allowing computation to run in parallel. The advantage of quantum computing is that it solves complex problems whereas classical computing is impossible because it requires expensive computing costs. Object detection and recognition is a task of computer vision, where research in this field aims to improve the ability of computer algorithms to produce interpretations of visual information. Humans easily analyze and describe the visual information received. However, unlike computer systems, they must learn and explore using machine learning from the visual information received to provide correct interpretations of visual information. This paper presents a systematic review of papers published from 2012 to 2024 to answer how far quantum object detection and recognition research has been conducted. The methodology of this review follows a systematic literature review such as the method proposed by Kitchenham et al. The selected primary studies amounted to 29 papers from four source digital libraries. The application of quantum algorithms is more often used to improve the performance of classical computing. The quantum model category consists of 3 types, namely pure quantum, hybrid classical-quantum, and quantum-inspired ML. Hybrid classical-quantum is the most discussed model and Quantum Convolutional Neural Network is the most frequently discussed algorithm or model in image classification from 2012 to 2024. Quantum algorithms show good results and can improve the performance of classical algorithms, although currently, the ability of quantum computing is not fully optimal because the development of quantum computers is still in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era. However, with the current limited quantum computing capabilities, it can already outperform the capabilities of classical computing. Based on this, studies on quantum object detection and recognition need to be carried out so that when the full potential of quantum computing can be utilized, the user's capacity is competent.

A Systematic Literature Review of Quantum Deep Learning in the NISQ Era

Tran Quy Ban, Duong M. Chu, Hai T. D. Pham +1 more

Quantum Deep Learning (QDL) is in its infancy and is a potential domain where classical and quantum technology intersect well to speed up many classical algorithms to reduce time complexity from exponential to polynomial. Thus, this systematic review article aims to look deeper into this domain and show the common architectures, building blocks, and integration approaches, as well as challenges and opportunities for computer scientists. Our research shows that the three main ways QDL is implemented are through quantum-inspired, hybrid classical-quantum, and fully fledged quantum algorithms. For now, the limitations of quantum hardware have led to the dominance of hybrid classical-quantum over fully fledged quantum and quantum-inspired due to the issue with noise in deep quantum circuits. In QDL, Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) utilizing Parameterized Quantum Circuits (PQCs) act as the heart of the neural networks, much like tensors do in classical deep learning algorithms. This quantum circuit is also known as an ansatz and can be executed iteratively using quantum computation, with the circuit parameters optimized using either classical or quantum optimizers. The integrated ansatzes are shown to solve problems more efficiently than classical algorithms and open more opportunities for computer scientists interested in research in a domain historically dominated by physics.
