Abstract
Background: Quantum computing has opened new avenues for technological advancement, solving computationally intensive tasks and providing a unique dimension to drone technology. Drone technologies are widely used in agriculture, surveillance, and logistics because of their superior autonomous navigation, data collection, and delivery capabilities. Objective: Quantum computing and drone technology unlock incredible possibilities. Quantum algorithms will be studied to enhance drone functioning, data processing, and communication systems, enabling resilient, secure, and efficient operations in diverse application areas. Methods: Current quantum algorithms and drone applications were examined to construct an integrated functional model. In parallel, quantum-enabled drones were tested for operating efficiency, data transport, and computation. Also, a comparative study showed quantum integration's advantages over standard drone technology. Results: Quantum-integrated drones outperformed conventional drones in securing connections, data processing speeds, and optimizing route algorithms. Quantum encryption enhanced data transmission channel security, while quantum algorithms optimized pathfinding and navigation, reducing energy consumption and improving operational efficiency. Conclusion: Quantum computing and drone technology bring a new era of safe, efficient, and better autonomous systems across sectors. Quantum encryption and quantum computing boost data security and operating speed. This article lays the groundwork for developing quantum-integrated drone systems for use.
