Efficient Quantum Simulation of Variable-Coefficient Transport with Continuous Source Injection (Q7285149)

We present an efficient quantum simulation algorithm for variable-coefficient advection-diffusion equations with continuous source injection using $n_q+1$ qubits. Our method combines a centered skew-symmetric discretization, an ancilla-free unitary realization of the advection operator, and classical Strang splitting for diffusion and source terms to achieve second-order temporal convergence and fourth-order accuracy through Richardson extrapolation.
