Abstract

Many simulations in engineering, such as molecular and turbulence simulations, demand vast computational resources. As Moore’s law reaches its limits, quantum computing is gaining attention for its potential to drive future computational power. However, in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, scalability and fidelity still limit the application of real quantum hardware. This presentation explores the use of variational quantum circuits (VQC) to address various engineering challenges, ranging from logistic optimization to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Through these examples, we aim to demonstrate the potential of quantum computing in solving general engineering problems and share insights into combine high-performance computing (HPC) with the current state of quantum computing.
