New Publication on the Use of Quantum Algorithms in Fluid Mechanics

We have developed a quantum algorithm to solve the advection-diffusion equation (ADE) using the Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM). This work focuses on leveraging quantum computing to improve simulations in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), starting with simpler models like the ADE, which serves as a foundation for more complex fluid dynamics problems. Our algorithm is designed with four main…
