Quantum Computing in Non Destructive Testing of Materials

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a set of methods and techniques to verify the integrity of a structure without damaging it. It concerns mechanical structures, as well as civil engineering constructions… Since the reliability of the results is closely dependent on the quality of the instrumentation used, NDT research is continuously evolving with technological advances. Indeed, inspections by ultrasonic waves or eddy currents have seen their instrumentation highly miniaturized and connected in recent decades. This paper sheds light on work toward exploiting quantum computing and the Internet of Things in the field of materials control.
