Quantum Optimization in Engineering: A Brief Review

Since its beginning, quantum computing has opened up a plethora of new perspectives and advantages., including its ability to exponentially accelerate computing processes. A large amount of research has been devoted to developing innovative methods for solving a variety of engineering problems by designing quantum versions of numerous mathematical processes. In this paper, we review the state of the art in these new techniques from the standpoint of quantum computer creation and efficiency enhancement, with an emphasis on the most widespread mathematical optimization techniques for engineering applications. It also emphasizes the obstacles and constraints associated with the use of quantum computing, as well as the major prospects for future contributions. This paper is providing a useful resource for engineering researchers who are likely to seek solutions from quantum computing.
