Abstract

The proliferation of microplastics in marine environments poses a significant ecological threat, necessitating sophisticated modeling techniques to understand their distribution and transport mechanisms. Traditional computational methods typically struggle to capture the intricate dynamics of ocean currents and their interactions with microplastic particles due to the sheer complexity and variability of marine ecosystems. In light of these challenges, quantum computing emerges as a transformative technology capable of enhancing predictive accuracy and computational efficiency in environmental modeling.
