VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If kernel functions are used to map datasets from one Hilbert space to another, then the ability to separate data samples using linear separators is improved, but the computational complexity increases significantly for large datasets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata separation capabilityVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the classical mechanical computation system with a quantum system. Specifically, it uses quantum circuits to implement feature mapping that would classically require kernel functions. The quantum system uses qubits and quantum gates to transform input features into a higher-dimensional Hilbert space, achieving the same data separation capability as kernel methods but with exponential speedup for certain computations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs quantum dimensionality by mapping classical input features into a quantum Hilbert space using quantum circuits. Each classical feature becomes a quantum state, and the quantum circuit transformations effectively perform the feature mapping into higher dimensions. This allows the system to achieve complex nonlinear separations through linear operations in the quantum domain, resolving the contradiction between separation capability and computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If explicit feature maps are used to transform each data sample, then the dimensionality of the feature space can be increased, but the computational cost becomes prohibitive for large datasets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature space transformation capabilityVSAvoidcomputational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes quantum mechanics for classical computation in the feature transformation process. Instead of explicitly computing transformed features using classical algorithms, the system uses quantum circuits to naturally perform the transformation during the quantum state evolution. This allows the system to achieve high-dimensional feature space adaptability while maintaining computational efficiency through quantum parallelism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs feature space transformation preliminarily by encoding input features into quantum states before the main computation. The quantum circuit is designed to pre-establish the appropriate feature space representation, so that subsequent quantum operations work directly with the transformed features. This preliminary quantum encoding avoids the need for expensive explicit feature map computations that would be required in a classical system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a hybrid classical-quantum system where a classical computer serves as an intermediary between the user and the quantum device. The classical system handles data preprocessing, quantum circuit design, and result interpretation, while the quantum device performs only the core feature mapping and computation. This intermediary architecture allows the system to leverage quantum speedup for training and execution while managing quantum hardware complexity through a familiar classical interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the machine learning system into distinct classical and quantum components. The classical portion handles data input, circuit compilation, and output processing, while the quantum portion is dedicated to feature mapping and computation. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, enabling fast quantum computation while managing overall system complexity through clear separation of concerns and specialized hardware usage.
