contents Classical nonlinear dynamical systems are often characterized by their steady-state probability distribution functions (PDFs). Typically, PDFs are accumulated from numerical simulations that involve solving the underlying dynamical equations of motion using integration techniques. An alternative procedure, direct statistical simulation (DSS), solves for the statistics directly. One approach to DSS is the Fokker-Planck Equation (FPE), which can be used to find the PDF of classical dynamical systems. Here, we investigate the utility of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers to find steady-state solutions to the FPE. We employ the Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) and the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithms to find the zero-mode of the FPE for one-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck problems enabling comparison with exact solutions. The quantum computed steady-state probability distribution functions (PDFs) are demonstrated to be in reasonable agreement with the classically computed PDFs. We conclude with a discussion of potential extensions to higher-dimensional dynamical systems.
