1Measurement precision
If classical or quantum computers simulate noisy spin systems by accounting for decoherence, then simulation accuracy is improved, but computational effort increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful effect of decoherence (noise) into a beneficial feature by using the intrinsic noise of quantum computer qubits to simulate noisy spin systems. Instead of requiring additional computational resources to model decoherence, the natural decoherence of the quantum computer itself is exploited to perform the simulation, thereby improving simulation accuracy without increasing computational effort
Solution Approach 2:
The quantum computer performs the simulation of noisy spin systems using its own intrinsic decoherence properties. The system serves itself by utilizing the natural noise characteristics of its qubits to model the desired physical system, eliminating the need for external computational resources dedicated to modeling decoherence effects
2Reliability
If the number of spins to be simulated is doubled to account for noise, then simulation realism is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the unavoidable noise in quantum systems from a detrimental factor into a useful resource. By mapping noisy spin systems onto quantum computers and utilizing the natural decoherence rates of qubits, the system achieves realistic simulation of noisy physical systems without requiring additional qubits or increased system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the approach from increasing the number of simulated spins to modifying the decoherence rate parameter of the quantum computer. By adjusting and utilizing the intrinsic decoherence rates of available qubits, the system achieves realistic simulation of noisy systems without doubling the number of physical qubits required
