Researchers have developed a novel conditional diffusion-based wavefield propagator for seismic wave simulation, aiming to overcome limitations of traditional finite-difference methods. This new approach conditions a diffusion model on recent wavefield snapshots, velocity models, and time indices to predict subsequent states. By employing a causal time-weighted loss, the model effectively reduces prediction errors and allows for significantly larger time steps compared to conventional solvers, achieving a 2.17x speedup in experiments.
