A developed approach for identifying bottlenecks in manufacturing simulations, for which the application of quantum computing potentially provides a speed-up or increase in accuracy, is presented. Moreover, indicators of quantum computing suitability and feasibility are defined with the main objective of identifying whether a manufacturing simulation bottleneck is suitable for quantum computing applications. First results of testing a hybrid routine as an application approach for the milling dynamics simulation on quantum machines are presented.enQuantum physicsQuantum computing600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaften::620 Ingenieurwissenschaftenpaper
