| contents | Simulating differential equations on classical computers becomes an intractable problem if the grid size is extremely large. Quantum computers are believed to achieve a possibly exponential speedup in the matrix operation. In this paper, we propose a quantum algorithm for solving the advection-diffusion-reaction equation by employing a novel approximate probabilistic imaginary-time evolution (PITE) operator. First, the effectiveness of the proposed approximate PITE operator is justified by the theoretical evaluation of the error. Next, we construct the explicit quantum circuit to realize the imaginary-time evolution of the Hamiltonian coming from the advection-diffusion equation, whose gate complexity is logarithmic regarding the size of the discretized Hamiltonian matrix. Compared to the existing algorithms for the quantum linear system problem, our algorithm achieves an exponential speedup regarding the matrix size at the cost of a worse dependence on the error bound. Moreover, numerical simulations using gate-based quantum emulator for 1D/2D examples are also provided to verify our algorithm. Finally, we extend our algorithm to the coupled system of advection-diffusion equations to show the prospects for practical applications. |
