Solving the Navier-Stokes Equations using Qiskit for Water Management Challenges

[EACMichiels]

Description

Water management challenges occur increasingly all over the world: managing the scarcity of water resources, predicting and coping with floods, assuring sufficient water quality, provisioning water for people, animals, agriculture and industry, are just some examples. A recognized approach to understand the behavior of water and other fluids is Computational Fluid Dynamics or CFD. Essential within CFD are the Navier-Stokes Equations, which have a wide set of application areas for water management. Early Quantum Algorithms exist for solving the Navier-Stokes Equations. The goal of this project is first to understand the relationship between a selected set of water management challenges, CFD, and the Navier-Stokes Equations, and next to solve the latter with (a) Quantum Algorithm(s). The final step is to develop working Quantum Circuits and a Qiskit Nature Application that illustrates how to tackle the original water management challenge(s).

Mentor/s

Eric Michiels would be Co-Mentor and Project Leader or Facilitator, contributing as much as possible, but he is open to appoint another Leading Mentor, who has more experience with Qiskit Nature.

Type of participant

Master Qiskit on the level of the Quantum Developer Certification.
Willing to read Research Papers on Navier-Stokes Equations and how they are solved with Quantum Algorithms.
Experience with converting a "theoretical" algorithm into one or more Quantum Circuits.
Convinced that Water Management is a critical issue and willing to contribute to a solution.
"Get the job done" mindset.

Number of participants

5

Deliverable

A contribution to Qiskit Nature with a Jupyter Notebook that contains the code and sufficient explanations about the problem and the approach for the solution.

I have recently graduated high school and also earned the IBM Quantum Developer certification and a significant amount of experience with Qiskit. I think this project will have a lot of impact on solving water crisis. I don't have enough experience with research but I'm willing to spare my time to read about Navier-Stokes equations and help with coming up with a solution towards success of this project.

QAMP Checkpoint 2 : Progress

Since the last checkpoint, our team mainly focused on developing the qiskit code to realize a Quantum ODE Solver with VQA based approaches. Thanks to @adarsh Chandrashekhar's effort, we are able to run the solver for very basic ODE and Boundary conditions. The main issue now is the runtime of our code goes really slow for a 6-qubit sample problem and we will try to imporve the running time and test more ODE/PDE.
