Fixing Divergence in Carleman Linearization via Analytical Continuation

Nonlinear differential equations play a crucial role in modeling a wide range of phenomena, yet their solutions remain notoriously difficult to obtain. With the rapid development of quantum computing, quantum algorithms for efficiently solving such equations are actively being explored. One promising approach is based on Carleman linearization, which transforms nonlinear differential equations into linear systems. However, this method suffers from exponential divergence beyond a certain time scale. By reformulating the solutions in terms of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, we identify that this divergence originates from the Laurent expansion outside its neighborhood of convergence. To address this issue, we insert a regularized function to the divergent solution hinted by analytical continuation. We validate this divergence-correction method on both the logistic equation and some other partial differential equations like KPP-Fisher equations and Phase-Field models under periodic conditions. We implement our method for the logistic equation using the Linear Combination of Unitaries (LCU) quantum algorithm, providing a detailed complexity and error analysis.

Charge-dependent anisotropic flow in high-energy heavy-ion collisions from relativistic resistive magneto-hydrodynamic expansion

We have investigated the charge-dependent anisotropic flow in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, using relativistic resistive magneto-hydrodynamics (RRMHD). We consider the optical Glauber model as an initial model of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the solution of the Maxwell equations with source term of the charged particles in two colliding nuclei as initial electromagnetic fields. The RRMHD simulation is performed with these initial conditions in Au-Au and Cu-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 200$ GeV. We have calculated the charge-odd contribution to the directed flow $Δv_1$ and elliptic flow $Δv_2$ in both collisions based on electric charge distributions as a consequence of RRMHD. Our results show that the $Δv_1$ and $Δv_2$ are approximately proportional to the electrical conductivity ($σ$) of the medium. In the $σ=0.023~\mathrm{fm}^{-1}$ case, our result of $Δv_1$ is consistent with STAR data in Au-Au collisions. Furthermore, in Cu-Au collisions, $Δv_1$ has a non-zero value at $η= 0$. We conclude that the charge-dependent anisotropic flow is a good probe to extract the electrical conductivity of the QGP medium in high-energy heavy-ion experiments.

Relativistic resistive magneto-hydrodynamics code for high-energy heavy-ion collisions

We construct a relativistic resistive magneto-hydrodynamic (RRMHD) numerical simulation code for high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We split the system of differential equations into two parts, a non-stiff and a stiff part. For the non-stiff part, we evaluate the numerical flux using HLL approximated Riemann solver and execute the time integration by the second-order of Runge-Kutta algorithm. For the stiff part, which appears in Ampere's law, we integrate the equations using semi-analytic solutions of the electric field. We employ the generalized Lagrange multiplier method to ensure the divergence-free constraint for the magnetic field and Gauss's law. We confirm that our code reproduces well the results of standard RRMHD tests in the Cartesian coordinates. In the Milne coordinates, the code with high conductivity is validated against relativistic ideal MHD tests. We also verify the semi-analytic solutions of the accelerating longitudinal expansion of relativistic resistive magneto-hydrodynamics in high-energy heavy-ion collisions in a comparison with our numerical result. Our numerical code reproduces these solutions.

Directed flow in relativistic resistive magneto-hydrodynamic expansion for symmetric and asymmetric collision systems

We construct a dynamical model for high-energy heavy-ion collision based on the relativistic resistive magneto-hydrodynamic framework. Using our newly developed (3+1)-dimensional relativistic resistive magneto-hydrodynamics code, we investigate magneto-hydrodynamic expansion in symmetric and asymmetric collision systems as a first application to high-energy heavy-ion collisions. As a realistic initial condition for electromagnetic fields, we consider the solutions of the Maxwell equations with the source term of point charged particles moving in the direction of the beam axis, including finite constant electrical conductivity of the medium. We evaluate the directed flow in the symmetric and asymmetric collisions at RHIC energy. We find a significant effect of finite electrical conductivity on the directed flow in the asymmetric collision system. We confirm that a certain amount of energy transfer by dissipation associated with Ohmic conduction occurs in the asymmetric collision system because of asymmetry of the electric field produced by two different colliding nuclei. Because this energy transfer makes the pressure gradient of the medium flatter, the growth of directed flow decreases.

Solidification of the Lennard-Jones fluid near the wall in thermohydrodynamic lubrication

We investigate the thermohydrodynamic lubrication of the Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid in the parallel-plate channel composed of the LJ particles by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. We discover a counterintuitive solidification of the LJ fluid near the wall, i.e., \textit{viscous heating-induced solidification}, where solidification occurs only when the viscous heating of the LJ fluid is sufficiently large. The solidification mechanism is investigated from both macroscopic and microscopic points of view. It is found that the LJ molecules are densely confined in the vicinity of the wall via the thermohydrodynamic transport of the bulk fluid and that when the local density in the vicinity of the wall is close to the solidification line in the phase diagram, the LJ molecules are solidified due to the interaction with the crystallized wall molecules. Band formation is also observed in the highly confined regime when the channel width is sufficiently large.
