Abstract

A CO oxidation microkinetic model is set up for a quantum circuit. The CO oxidation microkinetic model, and microkinetic models in general, exhibit an advantage of not requiring an encoding step because of being a subclass of systems of equations. The microkinetic model is cast as a nonlinear set of equations at first. Then, a linearizing approximation is made, and the resulting linear set of equations may be iterated to converge to the solution to the nonlinear set of equations. In this CO oxidation, the linearized set of equations is realized to chemical accuracy with one iteration. Current limitations in executing the quantum circuit to obtain the solution are discussed.
