Quantum Computing for Structural Optimization
Leveraging quantum algorithms to solve complex topology and material-selection problems.
Quantum annealing and gate-based algorithms can explore vast combinatorial spaces for structural layout, truss optimization, and material allocation. While still early (TRL 3-4), pilot projects from research labs and firms like IBM, D-Wave, and national labs suggest future value for mega-projects with extreme constraints.
