Linear differential equations are ubiquitous in science and engineering. Quantum computers can simulate quantum systems, which are described by a restricted type of linear differential equations. Here we extend quantum simulation algorithms to general inhomogeneous sparse linear differential equations, which describe many classical physical systems. We examine the use of high-order methods to improve the efficiency. These provide scaling close to $\Delta t^2$ in the evolution time $\Delta t$. As with other algorithms of this type, the solution is encoded in amplitudes of the quantum state, and it is possible to extract global features of the solution.

    Logical quantum kernels outperform physical ones when solving differential equations on a neutral-atom processor, with gains traced to noise error detection in the logical encoding.
