Abstract Design optimization plays a critical role in engineering and scientific applications. A key component of design optimization is the use of partial differential equations (PDEs) to evaluate the performance of candidate designs. However, as system complexity increases, solving PDEs and exploring large design spaces become computationally intensive, posing significant challenges in terms of memory and computational time. Quantum computing offers promising avenues to address these challenges. In this talk, I will present an overview of quantum algorithms we have developed for solving PDE and design optimization, covering both near-term approaches and algorithms designed for fault-tolerant quantum computers. In particular, I will highlight our recent work on a quantum algorithm based on Hamiltonian simulation, tailored for the fault-tolerant regime, and discuss its potential impact on future design workflows. |
