Abstract

Quantum computing has emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize numerical methods in scientific research. This study explores the integration of quantum algorithms to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of computational techniques used in solving complex scientific problems. The objective of this research is to investigate how quantum computing can address limitations in classical numerical methods, particularly in areas such as optimization, simulation, and data analysis. By employing quantum-enhanced algorithms, such as quantum Monte Carlo and quantum machine learning, the study demonstrates significant improvements in processing speed and solution quality. The findings highlight the capability of quantum computing to tackle challenges in high-dimensional computations and provide novel insights into scientific phenomena. These advancements have profound implications for disciplines ranging from physics and chemistry to material science and beyond, paving the way for a new era of computational-driven discoveries.
