Abstract

Currently, quantum computing and artificial intelligence are driving revolutionary advancements in computational science. This study pioneers the integration of quantum kernel networks on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). SPH has matured into a highly versatile meshfree/particle method, exceptionally suited for tracking spatiotemporal trajectories and dynamic modeling phenomena. We developed a hierarchy of Lagrangian quantum network models built upon an improved quantum multilayer perceptron (QMLP). Specifically, a sequential hybrid quantum-classical framework is constructed, utilizing Pauli-Z expectation values over traditional probability outputs to ensure robust gradient-based optimization and mitigate barren plateaus. It combines smoothing kernels with quantum learning, establishing a novel quantum intelligent SPH paradigm. The framework is validated through some continuous benchmarks on eurypalynous quantum neural networks, static multi-level nebula vortex interference reconstructions and transient scalar field advectional tests. Numerical results demonstrate that while pure elementary quantum circuits struggle with parameter-specific generalization in unstructured domains, the proposed hybrid crossed-QMLP seamlessly matches the fitting accuracy of classical SPH in quantum optimized space. Although this approach currently faces limitations in computational efficiency and hardware implementation, it nonetheless paves the way for a novel investigation into quantum SPH, by mapping unstructured Lagrangian particle topologies into integrated quantum circuits.
