Quantum computing offers a promising new avenue for advancing computational methods in science and engineering. In this work, we introduce the quantum asymptotic numerical method, a novel quantum nonlinear solver that combines Taylor series expansions with quantum linear solvers to efficiently address nonlinear problems. By linearizing nonlinear problems using the Taylor series, the method transforms them into sequences of linear equations solvable by quantum algorithms, thus extending the convergence region for solutions and simultaneously leveraging quantum computational advantages. Numerical tests on the quantum simulator Qiskit confirm the convergence and accuracy of the method in solving nonlinear problems. Additionally, we apply the proposed method to a beam buckling problem, demonstrating its robustness in handling strongly nonlinear problems and its potential advantages in quantum resource requirements. Furthermore, we perform experiments on a superconducting quantum processor from Quafu, successfully achieving up to 98% accuracy in the obtained nonlinear solution path. We believe this work contributes to the utility of quantum computing in scientific computing applications.
