Transient fields in oblique scattering from an infinite planar dielectric interface -- a qubit lattice simulation
Min Soe, George Vahala, Linda Vahala +3
An initial value algorithm is utilized to examine the time dependent evolution of the electromagnetic fields arising from oblique scattering of bounded pulses from an infinite plan…
Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations for predicting electron-positron pair production via the linear Breit-Wheeler process
Lucas I. Iñigo Gamiz, Óscar Amaro, Efstratios Koukoutsis +1
Quantum computing (QC) has the potential to revolutionise the future of scientific simulations. To harness the capabilities that QC offers, we can integrate it into hybrid quantum-…
Qubit Lattice Algorithm Simulations of the Scattering of a Bounded Two Dimensional Electromagnetic Pulse from an Infinite Planar Dielectric Interface
Min Soe, George Vahala, Linda Vahala +3
Qubit lattice algorithm (QLA) simulations are performed for a two-dimensional (2D) spatially bounded pulse propagating onto a plane interface between two dielectric slabs. QLA is a…
A time-marching quantum algorithm for simulation of the nonlinear Lorenz dynamics
Efstratios Koukoutsis, George Vahala, Min Soe +3
Simulating nonlinear classical dynamics on a quantum computer is an inherently challenging task due to the linear operator formulation of quantum mechanics. In this work, we provid…
A Quantum Walk Inspired Qubit Lattice Algorithm for Simulating Electromagnetic Wave Propagation and Scattering in Conservative and Dissipative Magnetized Plasmas
