Abstract

This paper shows how to use quantum computers to simulate nonlinear and non-Hamiltonian classical dynamics by using the Koopman-von Neumann approach, which reformulates the classical system as an equivalent Schrodinger equation with a Hermitian Hamiltonian and a unitary evolution operator on phase space.
