  Transport phenomena still stand as one of the most challenging problems in
computational physics. By exploiting the analogies between Dirac and lattice
Boltzmann equations, we develop a quantum simulator based on pseudospin-boson
quantum systems, which is suitable for encoding fluid dynamics transport
phenomena within a lattice kinetic formalism. It is shown that both the
streaming and collision processes of lattice Boltzmann dynamics can be
implemented with controlled quantum operations, using a heralded quantum
protocol to encode non-unitary scattering processes. The proposed simulator is
amenable to realization in controlled quantum platforms, such as ion-trap
quantum computers or circuit quantum electrodynamics processors.
