Researchers have developed a novel Quantum Annealing enhanced Q-Learning (QAQL) framework to improve Remaining Useful Lifetime (RUL) prediction in predictive maintenance. This approach integrates quantum annealing's sampling capabilities with Q-learning's decision-making process, encoding Q-value updates as QUBO problems solved on D-Wave Advantage systems. The QAQL framework demonstrated statistically significant improvements over classical and quantum baselines on NASA C-MAPSS turbofan engine datasets and a device-fleet predictive maintenance dataset, indicating practical applicability for industrial RUL estimation.
