Carleman Linearization Application for Chemical Reaction and Reacting Flow Toward Quantum Computing

Takaki Akiba, Youhi Morii, Minhyeok Lee +2 more

Reacting flows are governed by the conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and chemical species, and exhibit strong nonlinearity due to convection and chemical reactions. As quantum computers are inherently limited to linear operations, a bridging method is required to enable their application to such nonlinear systems. This study proposes an approach using the Carleman linearization to integrate quantum computing into reacting flow analysis, with a focus on the nonlinear temperature dependence described by the Arrhenius equation. To handle the exponential form of the reaction rate, a Taylor series expansion is employed. The present method is validated through numerical simulations of fuel ignition. The impacts of the truncation order in the Carleman linearization and the polynomial order in the Taylor expansion are systematically examined. The results demonstrate that higher-order approximations enhance the accuracy but may also introduce numerical stiffness. Overall, the findings confirm the validity and potential of the proposed framework for quantum-assisted reacting flow computations.

Generalized Bloch equations for decaying systems

J. Pöttinger, K. Lendi

The well-known magnetic or optical Bloch equations are extended to the case of unstable systems such as, e.g., spontaneously decaying particles and molecules undergoing chemical reactions or decaying from excited states back to states other than those involved in resonance. The modified equations are derived from a general theory of irreversible processes where quantum Markovian master equations and the corresponding completely positive dynamical semigroups dictate the time evolution of density operators. The results are of particular importance in those situations where decay occurs level-selectively and all relaxation and decay constants are of comparable order of magnitude. The obtained generalized Bloch equations are of direct applicability to problems of time-resolved magnetic or optical resonance spectroscopy.
