• Abstract: Solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) is important in various scientific and engineering applications. Recently, quantum computing was introduced as an alternative computational paradigm for solving nonlinear PDEs. In this paper, a new method called the quantum homotopy perturbation method (QHPM) is proposed to improve the scalability of solving nonlinear PDEs through two aspects. First, the dimension of the Hilbert space remains the same after the nonlinear PDE is linearized through the homotopy perturbation. Second, the solutions are obtained with a variational quantum simulation framework, where the number of qubits is decreased with functional encoding and the depth of parametrized circuits is reduced. The additional contribution of this paper is the introduction of new criteria for selecting the homotopy series truncation order and circuit depth for cost-effective QHPM. The proposed approach is demonstrated with several examples, including the vorticity transport equation and the reduced magnetohydrodynamics equations.
