タイトル：Quantum Algorithm for a Stochastic Multicloud Model

概要：Quantum computers have attracted much attention in recent years. This is because the development of
the actual quantum machine is accelerating. Research on how to use quantum computers is active in the fields such
as quantum chemistry and machine learning, where vast amounts of computation are required. However, in weather
and climate simulations, less research has been done despite similar computational demands. In this study, a quantum
computing algorithm is applied to a problem of the atmospheric science. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is
evaluated using a quantum simulator. The results show that it can achieve the same simulations as a conventional algorithm designed for classical computers. More specifically, the stochastically fluctuating behavior of a multi-cloud model
was obtained using classical Monte Carlo method, and comparable results are also achieved by utilizing probabilistic
outputs of computed quantum states. Our results show that quantum computers have a potential to be useful for the
atmospheric and oceanic science, in which stochasticity is widely inherent.
