Abstract: A method and system perform quantum-assisted finite elements-based, design optimization of an object to minimize a shape-specific quantity by manipulating the shape of the object using a processing unit, for example, a Quantum Processing Unit (QPU). As a result, a shape-specific quantity, such as an approximation of sound pressure at a specific position around an object, can be minimized by manipulating the object shape using the QPU.

Abstract: A ventilation device for a motor vehicle, having a first ventilation duct for the throughflow of a first air flow, a second ventilation duct which is separate from the first ventilation duct for the throughflow of a second air flow and an air outlet which is coupled in a fluid-communicating manner to a first duct end of the first ventilation duct and to a second duct end of the second ventilation duct, for releasing an overall air flow into a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. A first air flow strength of the first air flow and a second air flow strength of the second air flow can be set individually. The air outlet has a first deflecting wall in the direction of flow downstream of the first duct end that is designed for deflecting the first air flow such that the first air flow intersects the second air flow.
