Quantum simulation of fluid mechanics via Lattice-Boltzmann – Keynote Talk
Speaker:
Peter Love, University of Toronto
Date and Time:
Thursday, August 27, 2026 - 9:00am to 9:50am
Location:
Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo
Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss the prospects for simulation of fluid mechanics on quantum computers using the lattice Boltzmann method. I will discuss the origin of the LB method and its connection to the fundamental problems of irreversibility and nonlinearity that all quantum algorithms for fluid mechanics must face.
