Quantum algorithm for smoothed particle hydrodynamics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper presents a quantum computing algorithm for the determination of function and gradient approximations in the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The SPH operators and domain discretisation are encoded in a quantum register using a careful normalisation procedure. The SPH summation is then performed via an inner product of quantum registers. This approach is tested in a classical sense for the kernel sum and first and second gradients of a function, using both the Gaussian and Wendland kernel functions, with comparisons for various register sizes made against analytical results. Error convergence is exponential in the number of qubits. It is hoped that this one-dimensional work will provide the foundation for a more general SPH algorithm, eventually leading to the highly efficient simulation of complex engineering problems on emerging quantum computers.
