Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If many atoms are used to achieve scalability, then the computational capability is improved, but the control complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the control task into independent modules by assigning dedicated optical tweezers to specific atom pairs, allowing parallel control operations. Each tweezers handles a specific subset of atoms, transforming the monolithic control problem into manageable segmented tasks that can be executed simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces temporal multiplexing as an additional dimension to control. By switching between different tweezers in time sequences, the system achieves complete connectivity and control over all atoms without requiring simultaneous control resources for all atom pairs, thus reducing the dimensional complexity of the control space.
2Device complexity
If sequential control methods are used, then the control complexity is reduced, but the operational speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple control operations into parallel executions by simultaneously activating different optical tweezers on distinct atom pairs. This combining of operations allows quantum gates to be applied to multiple qubit pairs at the same time, dramatically increasing operational speed while keeping each individual control operation simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous parallel quantum operations where multiple quantum gates are applied simultaneously across different qubit pairs without interruption. This continuous execution of useful actions eliminates the sequential bottlenecks and maintains high operational speed throughout the computation process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If atoms are moved between sites using optical tweezers, then the connectivity is improved, but the decoherence risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary site merging operations to establish connectivity pathways before actual quantum gate operations. By pre-merging sites and establishing the necessary optical lattice configurations in advance, the system minimizes the time atoms spend in transit and reduces exposure to decoherence during connectivity establishment.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical lattice serves as an intermediary medium that facilitates atom movement and site merging while providing a controlled environment. The lattice structure acts as a mediator that enables connectivity changes through controlled site merging and splitting, while the overall system architecture provides decoherence suppression through isolation from environmental noise.
