Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If one qubit is used per lattice site in QLGA models, then the simulation can be performed on quantum computers, but the qubit requirement becomes inefficient and leads to high device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple qubits into a single qubit by encoding multiple states (0, 1, 2, 3) into the quantum superposition states of a single qubit (|0>, |1>, (|0>+|1>)/â2, (|0>-|1>)/â2). This allows one qubit to represent what previously required multiple qubits, reducing the overall qubit requirement while maintaining simulation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation from classical binary states (0 or 1) per lattice site to quantum states that can represent multiple discrete states simultaneously through superposition. This parameter transformation enables fewer qubits to represent the same lattice configuration space.
2Adaptability or versatility
If classical LGA methods are used for fluid dynamics simulation, then nonlinearity can be handled, but quantum advantage is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical mechanical computation with quantum mechanical operations. The quantum circuit uses quantum gates (Hadamard, CNOT, SWAP) and superposition to perform calculations that would classically require iterative nonlinear solvers, achieving both quantum advantage and nonlinear handling simultaneously.
3Productivity
If existing quantum methods for fluid flow are used, then quantum computing is leveraged, but nonlinearity remains a major drawback
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic quantum superposition states that can adapt to represent different flow regimes and nonlinear behaviors. The quantum circuit dynamically adjusts the superposition states to model nonlinear fluid interactions, providing versatility in handling various flow conditions without requiring separate linearization approaches.

AI summary
A quantum circuit for a lattice gas automata simulation includes an initialization step performed by setting up, for the quantum circuit, a position register, a channel register and a first ancilla register. To the position register, the channel register and the first ancilla register are applied in a sequential order:(i) a collision step constructed using a first set of multi-controlled gates, a second set of multi-controlled gates, and four CX gates arranged between the first set and the second set, the collision step being applied to the channel register and the first ancilla register;(ii) a mapping step constructed using two Hadamard gates and four multi-controlled SWAP gates, the mapping step being applied to the channel register and the first ancilla register; and(iii) a propagation step being applied to the position register and the first ancilla register.
