1Ease of manufacture
If classical algorithms (Jacobi, LU, GMRES) are used to solve the coefficient matrix, then the method is implementable, but the calculation amount becomes very large and CFD simulation becomes difficult to implement for large grid nodes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical mechanical computational algorithms with quantum algorithms. Specifically, it uses quantum linear algebra operations (quantum matrix inversion, quantum linear system solving) to substitute for classical iterative methods like Jacobi, LU, or GMRES. This substitution leverages quantum parallelism and superposition to perform computations that would be prohibitively expensive on classical computers, thereby resolving the contradiction between implementability and computational efficiency for large-scale CFD simulations.
2Measurement precision
If the dimension of the coefficient matrix is increased to match large grid nodes, then the accuracy of CFD simulation is improved, but the calculation amount becomes very large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from classical computational dimensions to quantum computational dimensions. By encoding the coefficient matrix and vectors into quantum states and utilizing quantum parallelism, the system can handle large matrix dimensions efficiently. The quantum algorithm operates on the exponential state space of quantum bits, allowing it to process large-scale CFD problems with high accuracy while reducing computational time compared to classical methods.
3Reliability
If iterative approaches are used to solve the linear system, then the coefficient matrix can be inverted, but the calculation becomes very complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes classical iterative inversion methods with quantum linear algebra techniques. Instead of using iterative approaches like Jacobi or GMRES to invert the coefficient matrix, the patent employs quantum algorithms that can directly solve linear systems or perform matrix inversion through quantum operations. This maintains the stability benefits of implicit schemes while dramatically reducing the complexity and time required for matrix inversion through quantum mechanical operations.
