Wireless communication technology has become important in modern life. Real-world radio environments present significant challenges, particularly concerning latency and multipath fading. A promising solution is represented by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), which can manipulate electromagnetic waves to enhance transmission quality. In this study, we introduce a novel approach that employs the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) to efficiently configure RIS in multipath environments. Applying the spin glass (SG) theoretical framework to describe chaotic systems, along with a variable noise model, we propose a quantum-based minimization algorithm to optimize RIS in various electromagnetic scenarios affected by multipath fading. The method involves training a parameterized quantum circuit using a mathematical model that scales with the size of the RIS. When applied to different EM scenarios, it directly identifies the optimal RIS configuration. This approach eliminates the need for large datasets for training, validation, and testing, streamlines, and accelerates the training process. Furthermore, the algorithm will not need to be rerun for each individual scenario. In particular, our analysis considers a system with one transmitting antenna, multiple receiving antennas, and varying noise levels. The results show that QAOA enhances the performance of RIS in both noise-free and noisy environments, highlighting the potential of quantum computing to address the complexities of RIS optimization and improve the performance of the wireless network.

In addressing the challenges posed by low-frequency airborne transient electromagnetics (ATEM), it is necessary to take into account the considerations of accuracy, computational efficiency, and the scale and intricacy of the physical domain. This becomes particularly crucial when dealing with large-scale, complex issues, with the aim of mitigating the computational resource burden associated with managing such complexities. In order to further meet the aforementioned criteria, a Perfectly Matched Monolayer (PMM) model has been introduced into the Random Forest Regression (RFR) framework. The RFR-based PMM model has demonstrated exceptional accuracy through the utilization of Bagging's integrated learning methodology, while also reducing the computational resource requirements for processing time. In comparison to traditional machine learning models, our model has exhibited significant advantages in terms of training stability, model efficiency, and parallelization capabilities. To verify and establish the reliability of this approach, three-dimensional numerical simulations of the ATEM problem were conducted. The proposed model in this study has exhibited superior accuracy, efficiency, and versatility in addressing the low-frequency ATEM problem, integrating with the FDTD method.
