Quantum computing has rapidly gained prominence for its unprecedented computational efficiency in solving specific problems when compared to classical computing counterparts. This surge in attention is particularly pronounced in the realm of quantum machine learning (QML) following a classical trend. Here we start with a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVMs). Subsequently, we analyze the limitations inherent in both annealing and gate-based techniques. To address these identified weaknesses, we propose a novel hybrid methodology that integrates aspects of both techniques, thereby mitigating several individual drawbacks while keeping the advantages. We provide a detailed presentation of the two components of our hybrid models, accompanied by the presentation of experimental results that corroborate the efficacy of the proposed architecture. These results pave the way for a more integrated paradigm in quantum machine learning and quantum computing at large, transcending traditional compartmentalization.

The optimization of independent automotive suspension systems, which is one of the main pillars of the vehicle performance and comfort, is currently going through a revolutionary change due to the development of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. This paper aims to review the multi-objective optimization of suspension parameters including camber, caster, and toe to discuss the complex design issues that arise from geometric and dynamic considerations. Some of the most common computational methodologies, which are Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Gradient Descent, are discussed in this paper along with the new quantum computing techniques such as Gate-Based quantum computing and Quantum Annealing (QA). In addition, this review incorporates information from the practice of automotive manufacturers who have incorporated the use of artificial intelligence and quantum computing in their suspension systems. However, there are still some issues remaining, such as the computational cost, real-time flexibility, and the applicability of theoretical concepts to actual engineering structures. Some potential future research directions are introduced in this paper, such as hybrid optimization approaches, quantum techniques, and adaptive materials, which are considered as potential directions for future development. This systematic review presents a conceptual framework for researchers and engineers to follow, stressing the importance of interdisciplinarity in the development of intelligent suspension systems with performance objectives that are capable of adjusting to various road conditions. The findings of this work underscore the growing importance of complex computational techniques in modern automotive industry and highlight their potential to shape future developments based on emerging trends and industry practices.

Quantum machine learning has the potential to improve traditional machine learning methods and overcome some of the main limitations imposed by the classical computing paradigm. However, the practical advantages of using quantum resources to solve pattern recognition tasks are still to be demonstrated. This work proposes a universal, efficient framework that can reproduce the output of a plethora of classical supervised machine learning algorithms exploiting quantum computation’s advantages. The proposed framework is namedMultiple Aggregator Quantum Algorithm(MAQA) due to its capability to combine multiple and diverse functions to solve typical supervised learning problems. In its general formulation, MAQA can be potentially adopted as the quantum counterpart of all those models falling into the scheme of aggregation of multiple functions, such as ensemble algorithms and neural networks. From a computational point of view, the proposed framework allows generating an exponentially large number of different transformations of the input at the cost of increasing the depth of the corresponding quantum circuit linearly. Thus, MAQA produces a model with substantial descriptive power to broaden the horizon of possible applications of quantum machine learning with a computational advantage over classical methods. As a second meaningful addition, we discuss the adoption of the proposed framework as hybrid quantum–classical and fault-tolerant quantum algorithm.
