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.

Integrals of motion in conformal field theory with W-symmetry and the ODE/IM correspondence

We study the ODE/IM correspondence between two-dimensional $WA_{r}$/$WD_{r}$-type conformal field theories and the higher-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) obtained from the affine Toda field theories associated with $A_r^{(1)}/D_r^{(1)}$-type affine Lie algebras. We calculate the period integrals of the WKB solution to the ODE along the Pochhammer contour, where the WKB expansions correspond to the classical conserved currents of the Drinfeld-Sokolov integrable hierarchies. We also compute the integrals of motion for $WA_{r}$($WD_{r}$) algebras on a cylinder. Their eigenvalues on the vacuum state are confirmed to agree with the period integrals up to the sixth order. These results generalize the ODE/IM correspondence to higher-order ODEs and can be used to predict higher-order integrals of motion.

WKB analysis of the linear problem for modified affine Toda field equations

We study the WKB analysis of the solutions to the linear problem for a modified affine Toda field equation, which is equivalent to the higher-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) studied in the ODE/IM correspondence. After gauge transformation, we diagonalize the flat connection of the linear problem to reduce the latter to a set of independent first-order linear differential equations. We explicitly perform this procedure for classical affine Lie algebras with lower ranks. In particular, we study the WKB solutions of the $D_r^{(1)}$- and $D^{(2)}_{r+1}$-type linear problems, which correspond to the higher-order ODEs with the pseudo-differential operator. The diagonalized connection is obtained from the Riccati equations of the adjoint linear problem and related to the conserved currents of the integrable hierarchy constructed by Drinfeld and Sokolov up to total derivatives.

ODE/IM correspondence and supersymmetric affine Toda field equations

We study the linear differential system associated with the supersymmetric affine Toda field equations for affine Lie superalgebras, which has a purely odd simple root system. For an affine Lie algebra, the linear problem modified by conformal transformation leads to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) that provides the functional relations in the integrable models. This is known as the ODE/IM correspondence. For the affine Lie superalgebras, the linear equations modified by a superconformal transformation are shown to reduce to a couple of ODEs for each bosonic subalgebra. In particular, for $osp(2,2)^{(2)}$, the corresponding ODE becomes the second-order ODE with squared potential, which is related to the ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric minimal model via the ODE/IM correspondence. We also find ODEs for classical affine Lie superalgebras with purely odd simple root systems.
