This minisymposium will explore the rapidly evolving intersection of quantum computing and computational mechanics, focusing on algorithmic innovations, hybrid quantum–classical frameworks, and application-driven solutions. As quantum computing progresses from theoretical foundations to practical implementation, it opens up new avenues for addressing long-standing computational challenges in mechanics. These include solving large-scale systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) in elasticity, thermo-mechanics, and fluid–structure interaction; modeling materials across scales, from atomistic and quantum domains to continuum representations; optimizing complex structural and multiphysics systems; and accelerating inverse problems in system identification, damage detection, and material characterization. Quantum-enhanced solvers also offer the potential to improve the efficiency of reduced-order modeling, nonconvex topology and shape optimization, and high-dimensional parametric studies needed for robust uncertainty quantification. The primary goal of this minisymposium is to establish a dynamic and interdisciplinary platform for researchers from quantum information science, computational physics, applied mathematics, and engineering mechanics to exchange ideas, identify shared challenges, and forge new collaborations. These communities are increasingly converging around the need to tackle complex, coupled problems in simulation and design. By facilitating dialogue among experts such as quantum algorithm developers, numerical analysts, and mechanics modelers, the session aims to accelerate the integration of quantum computing into classical computational mechanics workflows. Through invited and contributed talks, as well as interactive discussions, the minisymposium will serve as a forum for evaluating the theoretical foundations, hardware considerations, and practical impact of quantum-enhanced methods. It will also contribute to shaping a research roadmap for this emerging field, identifying priority application areas, algorithmic benchmarks, and software needs. Ultimately, this session will help position the computational mechanics community to engage meaningfully with quantum technologies and benefit from their transformative capabilities in the coming decades.
