Quantum algorithm and circuit design solving the Poisson equation

Abstract: The Poisson equation occurs in many areas of science and engineering. Here we focus on its numerical solution for an equation in d dimensions. In particular we present a quantum algorithm and a scalable quantum circuit design which approximates the solution of the Poisson equation on a grid with error ε. We assume we are given a superposition of function evaluations of the right-hand side of the Poisson equation. The algorithm produces a quantum state encoding the solution. The number of quantum operations and… Show more

“…Recently Cao et al proposed a quantum algorithm for solving the d-dimensional 2 Poisson equation based on the HHL algorithm [11,17]16], which achieves an exponential speedup against any classical algorithms in terms of dimension of the Poisson equation. They presented in principle a scalable quantum circuit for the algorithm, of which the number of qubits and quantum operations used are proportional to, respectively, 1 1 2 22 max{ , log } (log ) d    and 1 1 3 22 max{ , log } (log ) d    within the error of ε.…”

“…However, any physical realization of the algorithm should account for that as well. There are cases where the implementation cost of the exponential is low, for example, when dealing with the Laplacian Δ [51], or other operators that can be diagonalized efficiently, as well as the terms of the electronic Hamiltonian (4) as shown in [17,50].…”
