Flow Across Scales With a Quantum Computing Boost
To find a solution, Li teamed up with PNNL scientists Johannes Mülmenstädt, Margaret Cheung, Gregory Schenter, and Jaehun Chun as well as Xiaolong Yin from the Colorado School of Mines and PNNL joint appointee and University of Toronto professor Nathan Wiebe. Together, they devised a mathematical solution to simulate fluid dynamics—including turbulence—using quantum computing. Their results, published in Physical Review Research, could be used to clarify some of the most prominent uncertainties in atmospheric science and beyond.
