Solution Overview

Problem

Current quantum computing systems face high error rates due to the use of physical qubits, and existing quantum operation command structures fail to accurately reflect the operation characteristics of logical qubits, leading to inefficient resource usage and optimization times for logical qubit operations.

Innovation Solution

A dedicated quantum operation command structure for logical qubits is proposed, which decomposes quantum operations into smaller basic operation commands, enabling the expression of intermediate logical qubits and reducing computational resources and execution costs through operation decomposition and optimization at the quantum compiling stage.

1Reliability

If physical qubits are used for quantum operations, then quantum computing can be implemented, but the error rate becomes excessively high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror rateVSAvoidqubit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments a logical qubit into multiple physical qubits (e.g., 5 physical qubits per logical qubit in surface code implementation). This segmentation allows error correction by distributing quantum information across multiple physical qubits, thereby reducing the error rate while maintaining manageable complexity through modular organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces logical qubits as an intermediary layer between physical qubits and quantum algorithms. This intermediary abstracts the complexity of physical qubit error rates, allowing quantum operations to be designed and optimized at the logical qubit level while underlying physical error correction mechanisms operate transparently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs quantum command compilation and optimization at the logical qubit level before execution. This preliminary action includes decomposing high-level quantum operations into sequences of logical qubit commands, optimizing resource allocation, and scheduling operations in advance, thereby reducing actual execution time while managing complexity through structured compilation.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs comprehensive quantum command optimization and scheduling during the compilation phase rather than during execution. This preliminary optimization includes resource allocation, operation sequencing, and parallel/sequential execution planning, thereby minimizing runtime overhead while maintaining adaptability through the structured logical qubit command framework.
