contents Algorithms that promise to leverage resources of quantum computers efficiently to accelerate the finite element method have emerged. However, the finite element method is usually incorporated into a high-level numerical scheme which allows the adaptive refinement of the mesh on which the solution is approximated. In this work, we propose to extend adaptive mesh refinement to the quantum formalism, and apply our method to the resolution of Maxwell's equations. An important step in this procedure is the computation of error estimators, which guide the refinement. By using block-encoding, we propose a way to compute these estimators with quantum circuits. We present first numerical experiments on a 2D geometry.
