An efficient quantum algorithm for the one-dimensional Burgers equation

Year: 2002
Type: preprint
Abstract: We analyze one-dimensional classical and quantum microscopic lattice-gas models governed by a lattice Boltzmann equation at the mesoscopic scale, achieved by ensemble averaging over microscopic realizations. The models are governed by the Burgers equation at the macroscopic scale, achieved by taking the limit where the grid size and time step both approach zero and by performing a perturbative Chapman-Enskog expansion. The quantum algorithm exploiting superposition and entanglement is more efficient than the classical one because the quantum algorithm requires less memory. Furthermore, its viscosity can be made arbitrarily small.
