Resource Evaluation of Quantum Linear Systems Algorithm for Application to Electromagnetic Scattering Problems

Abstract

Current limitations in quantum computing technology does not allow for very large applications of quantum algorithms, and it is the nature of quantum algorithms not only to be able to solve problems of interest much more quickly than classical means but also to do so with less resources which makes them so promising! One such problem of interest is the application of the Quantum Linear Systems Algorithm, along with a few other subroutines, to the calculation of an electromagnetic scattering cross-section via finite element methods. This work composes a resource analysis of the algorithm as well as required subroutines and details the primary contributors to the resources involved as well as methods to decrease these resource requirements.
