Abstract
=======
Partial differential equations (PDEs) underpin a vast range of scientific and engineering applications, yet simulating high-dimensional and time-dependent PDEs remains challenging for both classical and quantum computation. To address this challenge, we introduce an explicitly constructed, oracle-free quantum framework. Specifically, all quantum circuits are built directly from fundamental gate operations, such as C-NOT gates and one-qubit rotations—basic units of quantum computing analogous to NOT, OR, and AND gates in classical computing. This explicitness enables clear resource estimation, avoids hidden complexities associated with oracle-based methods, and facilitates future hardware implementation. In addition, the framework addresses a broad class of linear PDEs, including those with time-dependent coefficients, inhomogeneous terms, and general Robin boundary conditions—encompassing special cases such as Dirichlet and Neumann boundaries.
