Quantum Implicit-Explicit Schemes for Multiscale Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations via Schr\"odingerization
Abstract
In this paper, we present a quantum implicit-explicit (IMEX) scheme for multiscale ordinary and partial differential equations whose discretization parameters are independent of the scaling parameter . A key ingredient of our approach is a continuous-time formulation of classical IMEX schemes, which decouples the evolution time of the quantum algorithm from the physical time of the differential equation and is therefore particularly useful in multiscale settings. Building on this idea, we employ the Schr\"odingerization framework [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133 (2024), 230602] to implement IMEX schemes on quantum computers. Compared to previous HHL type quantum AP scheme [J. Comput. Phys. 471 (2022), 111641], this new method requires narrower -- an extra logarithmic factor -- auxiliary register numerical examples on linear heat and multiscale telegraph equations demonstrate the independence in of the method.
