Motivated by recent discussions on the possible role of quantum computation in plasma simulations, here, we present different approaches to Koopman's Hilbert-space formulation of classical mechanics in the context of Vlasov–Maxwell kinetic theory. The celebrated Koopman–von Neumann construction is provided with two different Hamiltonian structures: one is canonical and recovers the usual Clebsch representation of the Vlasov density, the other is non-canonical and appears to overcome certain…

Efficient quantum algorithm for nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations and energy estimation
TLDR
This work improves upon the Carleman linearization approach introduced in [1] to obtain a faster convergence rate under the condition R D < 1, where R D measures the ratio of nonlinearity to dissipation using the (cid:96) ∞ norm.
Evolution of Hybrid Quantum-Classical Wavefunctions
A gauge-invariant wave equation for the dynamics of hybrid quantum-classical systems is formulated by combining the variational setting of Lagrangian paths in continuum theories with Koopman…
Koopman wavefunctions and classical states in hybrid quantum-classical dynamics
We deal with the reversible dynamics of coupled quantum and classical systems. Based on a recent proposal by the authors, we exploit the theory of hybrid quantum–classical wavefunctions to devise a…
Projective representation of the Galilei group for classical and quantum–classical systems
A physically relevant unitary irreducible non-projective representation of the Galilei group is possible in the Koopman–von Neumann formulation of classical mechanics. This classical representation…

Koopman–von Neumann approach to quantum simulation of nonlinear classical dynamics
Quantum computers can be used to simulate nonlinear non-Hamiltonian classical dynamics on phase space by using the generalized Koopman-von Neumann formulation of classical mechanics. The Koopman-von…

Koopman wavefunctions and classical–quantum correlation dynamics
TLDR
This paper addresses the long-standing problem of formulating a dynamical theory of classical–quantum coupling using the exactly solvable model of a degenerate two-level quantum system coupled to a classical harmonic oscillator.
Efficient quantum algorithm for dissipative nonlinear differential equations
TLDR
A lower bound on the worst-case complexity of quantum algorithms for general quadratic differential equations is provided, showing that the problem is intractable for $R \ge \sqrt{2}$.
From Quantum Hydrodynamics to Koopman Wavefunctions I
TLDR
Upon applying the Madelung transform from quantum hydrodynamics in the new context, it is shown how the Koopman wavefunction picture is insufficient to reproduce arbitrary classical distributions, but this problem is entirely overcome by resorting to von Neumann operators.
From Quantum Hydrodynamics to Koopman Wavefunctions II
TLDR
This work forms a Hamiltonian model for hybrid quantum-classical systems by writing the KvH wave equation for two classical particles and applying canonical quantization to one of them and presents a class of hybrid Hamiltonians whose flow preserves the sign of the classical density.
Linear embedding of nonlinear dynamical systems and prospects for efficient quantum algorithms
TLDR
An approach for approximating the resulting infinite linear system with finite linear systems (truncation) using a number of qubits only logarithmic in the number of variables of the nonlinear system, a quantum computer could simulate truncated systems to approximate output quantities if the non linearity is sufficiently weak.
