contents We develop a quantum algorithm for solving high-dimensional fractional Poisson equations. By applying the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension, the $d$-dimensional fractional equation is reformulated as a local partial differential equation in $d+1$ dimensions. We propose a quantum algorithm for the finite element discretization of this local problem, by capturing the steady-state of the corresponding differential equations using the Schrödingerization approach from \cite{JLY22SchrShort, JLY22SchrLong, analogPDE}. The Schrödingerization technique transforms general linear partial and ordinary differential equations into Schrödinger-type systems, making them suitable for quantum simulation. This is achieved through the warped phase transformation, which maps the equation into a higher-dimensional space. We provide detailed implementations of the method and conduct a comprehensive complexity analysis, which can show up to exponential advantage -- with respect to the inverse of the mesh size in high dimensions -- compared to its classical counterpart. Specifically, while the classical method requires $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(d^{1/2} 3^{3d/2} h^{-d-2})$ operations, the quantum counterpart requires $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(d 3^{3d/2} h^{-2.5})$ queries to the block-encoding input models, with the quantum complexity being independent of the dimension $d$ in terms of the inverse mesh size $h^{-1}$. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the validity of our formulation.
