Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a ferromagnetic material is used in the quantum transducer, then quantum transduction between microwave photons and optical photons can be achieved, but qubits are affected by the magnetic field generated by the ferromagnetic material
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the magnetic property parameter of the transducer material from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic. This parameter change fundamentally alters the magnetic field characteristics, eliminating the harmful external magnetic field while preserving the quantum transduction functionality through antiferromagnetic resonance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potentially harmful magnetic field effects into a beneficial configuration by using antiferromagnetic materials where opposing magnetic moments cancel each other out. The magnetic interactions are harnessed for quantum transduction while the net external magnetic field is minimized, protecting qubits from interference.
2Productivity
If laser light is emitted perpendicular to the easy axis of magnetization, then quantum transduction efficiency is maximized, but the magnetic field influence on qubits increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces asymmetric orientation of the laser beam relative to the easy axis of magnetization. By emitting laser light at an inclined angle rather than perpendicular to the easy axis, the system achieves a balance between maintaining quantum transduction efficiency and reducing magnetic field influence on qubits, breaking the symmetric configuration that caused the contradiction.
