• Abstract: In this work, we obtain the numerical temperature field to a thermally developing fluid flow inside parallel plates problem with a quantum computing method. The physical problem deals with the heat transfer of a steady state, hydrodinamically developed and thermally developing fluid flow inside two parallel plates channel subjected to a prescribed constant heat flux. Its solution is formulated numerically with Finite Differences method, where a sequence of linear systems must be solved in order to determine the complete temperature field. Such linear systems are written as discrete unconstrained optimization problems with floating points being approximated using binary variables and solved using near-term quantum heuristics. Due to the exponential cost of simulating quantum algorithms, a reduced number of qubits had to be used in the simulations, causing a loss of precision in the results. However, this work advances the state of the art of solutions of differential equations with noisy quantum devices and could be used for useful applications when quantum computers with thousands of qubits become available.

  We consider three approaches to solve the heat equation on a quantum computer. An exponential number of Pauli products in the Hamiltonian decomposition does not allow for the quantum speed up to be achieved. The ansatz tree approach exploits an explicit form of the matrix what makes it possible to achieve an advantage over classical algorithms.

  We show that the errors and chain break fraction are, on average, greater on the 2000Q system. Unlike the classical Gauss-Seidel method, the errors of the quantum solutions level off after a few iterations. This is partly a result of the span of the real number line available from the mapping of the chosen size of the set of qubit states.
