Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods struggle to efficiently detect errors in data qubits due to high processing time and load, especially as the number of qubits increases, limiting the handling of large numbers of logical qubits in quantum computers.
Innovation Solution
The method involves dividing a logical qubit into regions, determining the parity of syndromes in each region, and updating syndromes based on identified errors to reduce processing time and load by parallel processing across multiple computing units.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional error detection methods are used in quantum computers, then error detection can be performed, but processing time and computational load increase significantly as the number of qubits increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the logical qubit into multiple divided regions, allowing error detection to be performed independently in each region. This segmentation reduces the computational complexity from analyzing the entire qubit system at once to analyzing smaller sub-regions, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining error detection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent focuses error detection efforts on specific divided regions rather than uniformly processing the entire logical qubit. By identifying and prioritizing regions with syndromes indicating errors, the system performs partial action on the most critical areas first, reducing overall processing time while ensuring accurate error detection where needed.
2Measurement precision
If conventional error detection methods are used in quantum computers, then error detection can be performed, but computational load increases significantly as the number of qubits increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the logical qubit into divided regions with shared and non-shared data qubits, the patent reduces computational load by processing smaller subsets of qubits independently. The syndrome analysis is performed separately for each region, and results are combined through updates, significantly reducing the overall computational burden compared to analyzing all qubits simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension to error detection by organizing qubits into a hierarchical structure with divided regions and shared regions. This dimensional organization allows the system to process errors in a structured manner, updating syndromes based on shared region results before analyzing non-shared regions, thereby reducing computational load through systematic dimensionality management.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the number of logical qubits is increased in quantum computers, then computational capability is improved, but error detection becomes more difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing each logical qubit into multiple divided regions, which allows error detection to scale with the number of qubits. As the system grows, the segmented approach maintains manageable complexity by processing regions independently and combining results, rather than requiring centralized analysis of the entire expanded system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by focusing error detection on divided regions with syndromes indicating errors, rather than uniformly processing all regions. This selective approach allows the system to handle larger numbers of logical qubits efficiently by concentrating computational resources on regions that actually require error analysis, reducing overall detection complexity.

AI summary
Each parallel processing device distributes to all other parallel processing devices, even/odd information representing a result of determining whether the number of syndromes representing errors in a decoded region assigned thereto is even or odd. Each parallel processing device determines, based on the even/odd information of each decoded region, a data qubit to be judged as a Z error in an overlap region of the decoded region assigned thereto. Each parallel processing device updates the syndrome of an ancillary qubit in the decoded region assigned thereto. Each parallel processing device determines, based on the syndrome of the updated ancillary qubit, a data qubit to be judged as a Z error, in a unique region of the decoded region assigned thereto.
