Abstract

The multidimensional formulation of the quantum lattice Boltzmann (QLB) scheme is validated against analytical solutions of the time-dependent nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation in two and three spatial dimensions. As a result, we demonstrate the viability of the quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme for the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in multiple spatial dimensions. In addition, the links between the QLB scheme and sequential splitting methods for partial differential equations are also clarified.
