1Productivity
If quantum circuits are used for optimization problems, then computing performance increases, but decoherence reduces effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the learning rate during quantum circuit optimization. The learning rate is modified based on the relationship between predicted and actual cost function outputs, allowing the system to adapt to decoherence effects and maintain optimization effectiveness while preserving quantum computing performance advantages
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by comparing predicted cost function outputs with actual quantum circuit outputs. This feedback loop enables the system to detect deviations caused by decoherence and adjust the learning rate accordingly, thereby maintaining reliability while preserving the productivity benefits of quantum computing
2Speed
If learning rate is increased to improve convergence, then optimization speed increases, but accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the learning rate adaptive rather than static. The learning rate changes dynamically based on the ratio of actual to predicted cost function outputs, allowing the system to achieve both fast convergence and high accuracy by adjusting the step size during the optimization process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the learning rate parameter based on the relationship between predicted and actual quantum circuit outputs. This parameter adjustment enables the system to maintain accuracy while preserving convergence speed by adapting the learning rate to the current optimization state
