Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If quantum computing is used to model quantum mechanical states, then computational accuracy is improved, but device complexity and coding difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a classical computer as an intermediary system that simulates quantum computational chemistry calculations. This classical simulator acts as a mediator between the user and the quantum computer, translating quantum mechanical problems into classical computational tasks that can be executed on conventional hardware, thereby reducing coding complexity while maintaining computational accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a classical copy or simulation of quantum computational chemistry algorithms. By implementing simplified versions of quantum algorithms on classical computers, the system allows users to perform calculations without directly programming quantum hardware, thus reducing the complexity barrier while preserving the essential computational accuracy needed for chemical modeling.
2Power
If quantum hardware is used for quantum chemistry calculations, then computational power is improved, but reliability and scalability are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs classical computers as temporary, reliable substitutes for quantum hardware. Instead of relying on unstable quantum hardware, the system uses classical computing resources that are stable and easy to control, providing sufficient computational power for quantum chemistry calculations without the reliability issues associated with current quantum hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The classical computer simulator serves as a stable intermediary that bridges the gap between theoretical quantum computing and practical application. It provides reliable, scalable computational power for quantum chemistry calculations without requiring direct access to unstable quantum hardware, thus improving both reliability and scalability.
3Measurement precision
If full-dimensional quantum state computation is performed, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the full-dimensional quantum state computation into smaller, manageable classical computational tasks. By breaking down the complex quantum chemistry problem into discrete classical calculations, the system maintains measurement precision for quantum states while significantly reducing the computational time and resources required compared to direct full-dimensional quantum simulations.
