Abstract
Presented in this paper is the theory and practical implementation of quantum annealing for project scheduling and resource-allocation tasks that can be mapped to Ising or Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) models. Quantum annealing is a meta-heuristic that exploits quantum tunnelling to search the energy landscape of combinatorial optimization problems. The Quantum Annealing Process Flowchart is detailed stage by stage. Hybrid quantum-classical workflows that embed annealing inside a Monte Carlo or digital-twin loop are described, together with supporting figures of the energy landscape and the hybrid architecture. Cross-domain analogies with ULD configuration and related combinatorial problems illustrate transferability. The paper concludes with implementation considerations and the current maturity of the technology for construction and logistics applications.

This paper develops a Quantum optimisation Unit Commitment (UC) framework that benefits from Pauli Correlation Encoding (PCE) as a qubit reduction preprocessing technique and Sample-based Quantum Diagonalisation (SQD) as a hybrid post-processing refinement method. The UC problem is formulated in binary form, then trans...
