contents To simulate highly-resolved flow fields, we extend the Quantum Lattice Boltzmann Method (QLBM) to be able to simulate multiple time steps without state extraction or reinitialization. We adjust and extend given QLBM approaches from the literature to completely remove the need to measure or reinitialize the flow field in between the simulation time steps. Therefore, our algorithm does not require to sample the entire flow field at any time. We solve the linear advection-diffusion problem and derive all necessary equations and build the corresponding quantum circuit diagrams, including details on the QLBM blocks and explicitly drawing the circuit gates. We discuss the general decay of a QLBM step and how that effects our algorithm. The new algorithm is verified on 1D and 2D test cases using the shot method of IBMs Qiskit package. We show excellent agreement and convergence between our QLBM and classical LBM methods. The conclusion section includes a discussion on the advantages of our algorithm as well as limitations and to what extent it is more efficient.
