Nonlinear structural analysis, which can account for geometrical or material nonlinearities beyond the scope of linear methods, typically incurs high computational costs. Recent advances have shown that quantum computers can accelerate various numerical simulations. Although quantum acceleration of linear structural analysis via the Quantum Linear System Algorithm (QLSA) has been studied, its application to nonlinear structural analysis remains unexplored. Here, we introduce our proposed quantum algorithm for accelerating nonlinear structural analysis, summarizing its key features and performance results from our recent study.
