Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the bias current and voltage of the MOS device to optimize quantum signal generation. The system modifies operating parameters (bias points) to enhance the quantum tunneling effect while suppressing noise, thereby improving signal strength without changing the device itself. This allows standard MOS devices to generate sufficient quantum signals for practical applications.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by implementing time-varying bias adjustments rather than fixed operating points. The system dynamically modulates the bias parameters according to predetermined waveforms or feedback signals, allowing the device to operate at optimal quantum signal generation points only during measurement intervals while returning to lower-stress states during other periods. This temporal dynamics enables both strong quantum signals and extended device lifespan.
