Despite the constraints due to their limited qubit numbers and noise susceptibility, NISQ devices exhibit substantial potential to tackle complex computational challenges via hybrid classical-quantum algorithms. Among the various hybrid algorithms, variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are gaining increasing attention due to their ability to solve highly complex, large-scale problems where classical algorithms fail. In particular, the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) shows its potential in calculating the energies and ground states of large systems, where the complexity of solving such problems grows exponentially and becomes intractable for classical computers. At this regard, the aim of this paper is to extend the use of VQE for solving circular waveguide modes to verify their applicability to mathematically complex EM problems. In particular, we propose to calculate the fundamental and the some higher order modes for both transverse electric and transverse magnetic cases in circular waveguides. This is mathematically challenging due to the nature of geometry and the associated boundary conditions of circular structures. The results confirm the possibility of applying VQE for mathematically complex EM problems, announcing its potential to scale up and solve high-dimensional, large-scale EM problems where classical algorithms can fail.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"10 ","pages":"104-111"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143105959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the MDT cancer therapy, the drug is bound to magnetic nanoparticles, which act as carriers and are guided through the cardiovascular system into the tumor region using an external magnetic field. Thus, the modeling represents a multiphysical problem and can be approached either by particle-based or concentration-based models. In this paper, both simulation approaches are implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics in a typical magnetic drug targeting scenario, verified by measurements, and compared among each other. Two different particle concentrations with and without an applied magnetic field of a Halbach array consisting of five permanent magnets in a tube flow system with a laminar velocity flow were investigated. Within this scope, an analytical model for calculating the system response for the detection of nanoparticles with a commercial susceptometer is derived, too. Considering the two implemented models and the investigated scenario, the concentration-based model shows a considerably better agreement with the experimental results for both with and without an applied magnetic field. The spatial resolution of the particle-based model is reduced due to the limited number of considered particles resulting in an inaccurate system response. Overall, the high number of new publications shows the need for research in this interdisciplinary research field to improve therapeutic success.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"10 ","pages":"69-84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142938138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This pre-trained model is fine-tuned with a limited set of dielectric simulations, reducing data acquisition costs. In the second step, the developed forward model serves as a surrogate to design dielectric-filled antennas using the Improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. In contrast to conventional methods, this approach enables the design of compact antennas across various dielectrics and frequency ranges, with a significantly reduced number of time-consuming dielectric simulations (88% fewer simulations) and a lower neural network training time (75% lesser time). We analyze the optimal ways of generating dielectric antenna datasets via scaling, and perform sensitivity analysis with respect to the antenna's physical parameters.

In this paper, rigorous stability analyses of the FDTD methods will be performed for Schrödinger equation in full 3D incorporating both vector and scalar potentials. New stability conditions are derived rigorously based on the critical points within the interior and boundary regions, while considering the local and global extrema across all variables. Two FDTD schemes are considered, of which one is updated entirely in complex form, and the other is decomposed into real and imaginary parts and updated in a leapfrog manner. Comparisons of the new stability conditions are made against those of prior works, highlighting the thoroughness, completeness and adequacy. Numerical experiments further validate the derived stability conditions and demonstrate their applicability in FDTD methods. Using these stability conditions, the FDTD methods are useful for simulations of quantum-electromagnetic interactions involving vector and scalar potentials.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"10 ","pages":"38-46"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142798015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Future platforms must radiate farther, at lower frequency, and be increasingly compact. While mechanical resonance based piezoelectric antenna arrays are a viable candidate, detrimental mutual depolarization effects arise that must be characterized by multi-scale simulations, coupling the elastodynamic and EM wave physics. This work presents an algorithm capable of performing such full-wave simulations to provide design guidance to engineers wishing to mitigate mutual depolarization. The relevant dynamic systems of equations are discretized and put into a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) scheme. This scheme exhibits electrodynamic unconditional stability and features heavily graded meshes to directly tackle the time and length scale disparity between the mechanical and EM waves. The algorithm was validated by comparison with experimental data and analytical solutions. Additionally, the algorithm compared well with predicted values for depolarization. Simulations demonstrated that spacing within piezoelectric antenna arrays should not be made too small, as to induce undue mutual depolarization, or too large, as to not allow sufficient elements to contribute to array dipole moment.
