I placed 3d object to ARViewController after 3 seconds of placing object, then I want to rotate object by 90degree

arView.scene.addAnchor(anchorEntity)
 DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 3){
            print("after 3 sec ! ")
            let radians = 90.0 * Float.pi / 180.0
            anchorEntity.orientation = simd_quatf(angle: radians, axis: SIMD3(x: 0, y: 1, z: 0))
        }

it works very well but the problem is that I want to smooth rotation , as you can see short video, it suddenly rotate which seem weird.

how can I do this ?

You do not define any animation, just ask to rotate by π/2.

So it does what you ask for.

Have a look here on how to achieve:

Note: you could simplify radians with

let radians = Float.pi / 2.0
