Quantum Lattice Representation of 1D MHD Turbulence With Arbitrary Transport Coefficients
Abstract
The quantum Boltzmann equation method is demonstrated by numerically predicting the time-dependent solutions of the velocity and magnetic fields governed by nonintegrable magnetohydrodynamic equations in one spatial dimension. The method allows arbitrary tuning of the value of the viscosity and resistivity transport coefficients without compromising numerical integrity even near the zero dissipation and turbulent regime where shock front discontinuities emerge. Keywords: quantum computing, quantum Boltzmann equation, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
