1. Introduction
Inequalities are fundamental concepts in mathematics that play an important role in establishing relationships between various quantities. Inequalities play a critical role in applied mathematics, where they are used to model and analyze real-world phenomena. In many applications, the quantities of interest are subject to constraints, and inequalities are used to model and analyze these constraints. Inequalities are essential tools in mathematical analysis, providing a means to compare and analyze functions, establish bounds on integrals, and model real-world constraints. Integral inequalities are widely applied in modern mathematical analysis, making them an important component in this area of study. A broad spectrum of integral inequalities, each with multiple applications in both pure and applied sciences, is known to us. The Simpson’s integral inequality is one of the most renowned integral inequalities among them. Simpson’s integral inequality is a result of mathematical analysis that provides an upper bound on the error in approximating the integral of a function using Simpson’s rule. Simpson’s rule is a numerical integration technique that uses quadratic polynomials to approximate the value of an integral. Simpson’s integral inequality is an important result in numerical analysis, and it has applications in various fields of science and engineering, where numerical integration techniques are commonly used to solve problems that involve complex functions.
Let

21]. The theory of convexity plays a significant role in mathematics, especially in optimization theory, functional analysis, and geometry. Convexity refers to the property of a set or a function that any line segment between two points in the set or on the graph of the function lies entirely within the set or above the graph. One of the most important applications of convexity is in the optimization theory, where it provides a powerful tool for solving optimization problems. The classical concept of convexity also has a knit connection with the concept of symmetry. In the literature, there exist numerous properties of symmetric convex sets. One fascinating aspect of this relationship is that we work on one and apply it to the other. The theory of convexity also played a significant role in the development of the theory of integral inequalities. In particular, the theory of convex functions is closely related to the theory of integral inequalities. Many important integral inequalities can be derived using convex functions. In 2020, Chu et al. [
22] introduced the notion of higher-order
n-ploynomial strongly convex functions involving Katugampola fractional operators. In [
23], Iqbal and colleagues derived new Simpson-type inequalities involving generalized fractional operators together with convexity characteristics. In [
24], the authors visualized some upper error estimations involving generalized strongly convexity named
F convex functions. For details, see [
25].
New versions of classical integral inequalities have been developed using a range of modern techniques in recent years. One of the key approaches involves the use of quantum calculus instead of classical calculus, which provides a significant tool for deriving quantum (
q-)analogues of classical integral inequalities. In quantum calculus, the traditional derivatives and integrals are replaced by
q-derivatives and
q-integrals, which depend on a parameter
q. The
q-derivatives and
q-integrals have different algebraic properties than their classical counterparts. For more details, see [
26].
The aim of this study is to derive new quantum versions of Simpson’s inequality by mainly exploiting the convexity property of functions. Furthermore, the study assesses the validity of the obtained outcomes by providing relevant numerical examples and also graphical analysis.

28] for more details. Moreover, Jackson [
28] gave the
q-Jackson integral on the interval

The right
q-derivative and integral established in [
29] are presented as follows:

29])
