Investigating quantum computing and machine learning as effective tools in fluid dynamics

To prevent aircraft stalls, engineers have long studied the flow of air over airfoils such as airplane wings to detect the angles when flow separation occurs. Recently, a team of researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, including Xi-Jun Yuan and Zi-Qiao Chen, investigated the use of quantum computing in connection with machine learning as a more accurate way of solving such problems.
