Abstract
Quantum algorithms for classical physics problems expose new patterns of quantum information flow as compared to the many-body Schr\"{o}dinger equation. As a result, besides their potential practical applications, they also offer a valuable theoretical and computational framework to elucidate the foundations of quantum mechanics, particularly the validity of the many-body Schr\"{o}dinger equation in the limit of large number of particles, on the order of the Avogadro number. This idea is illustrated by means of a concrete example, the Block-Encoded Carleman embedding of the Lattice Boltzmann formulation of fluid dynamics (CLB).
