## TL;DR

A new solver called T²S² efficiently and accurately solves complex transport problems in minutes using advanced mathematical techniques.

## Contribution

The T²S² solver combines spectral collocation, superconsistency, and tensor train compression for high-dimensional transport problems.

## Key findings

- T²S² achieves exponential convergence and spectral accuracy with minimal data compression.
- The solver can handle high-dimensional transport problems on standard hardware in minutes.
- T²S² enables modeling of previously intractable transport phenomena with high precision.

## Abstract

Transport phenomena—describing the movement of particles, energy, or other physical quantities—are fundamental in various scientific disciplines, including nuclear physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, engineering, and the natural sciences. However, solving the associated seven-dimensional transport equations poses a significant computational challenge due to the curse of dimensionality. We introduce the Tensor Train Superconsistent Spectral (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

This advancement opens new avenues for efficiently and accurately modeling complex transport phenomena.
