Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the theory, benefits, and applications of a multiphysics simulation software developed for various purposes, including the design of audio circuits and acoustics. The simulation platform, Quanscient Allsolve, is a cloud-based system which is built to utilize quantum algorithms as the quantum computing platforms evolve.
The thesis explores how computational methods can be applied to use cases needed by audio engineers, accelerating the design process so that the product or service reaches the market faster and as a better version, without costly and potentially erratic prototype iterations. Key applications investigated include Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based speaker elements and the simulation of acoustic wave propagation. The findings indicate that leveraging advanced simulation tools can significantly streamline audio device development by enabling virtual prototyping of complex coupled systems (electrical, mechanical, and acoustic) with high fidelity. This leads to fewer design iterations with physical hardware and improved final product performance.
The thesis discusses the architecture of the Quanscient Allsolve platform, presents use cases in audio engineering, evaluates advantages over traditional design methods, and considers future developments such as quantum-powered simulations.
