Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If Graysynth algorithm is used to synthesize quantum circuits, then the number of CNOT gates is reduced, but the method can be applied only to circuits with rotational quantum gates along Z-axis
Solution Approach 1:
The patent generalizes the Graysynth algorithm to handle any Pauli rotation type (X, Y, Z axes) by introducing a classification mechanism for pivot rows based on their rotation axis. The algorithm maintains the optimized CNOT synthesis capability while becoming universally applicable to all single-qubit rotation types through systematic row classification and targeted gate insertion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation from restricted Z-axis rotations to general Pauli rotations by classifying pivot rows into different categories (X-type, Y-type, Z-type). This parameter expansion allows the algorithm to adapt its gate insertion strategy based on the specific rotation type, maintaining optimization while increasing versatility.
2Quantity of substance
If Unitary Coupled Cluster Ansatz method is used to compile circuits, then depth and number of CNOT gates are reduced, but exponential number of steps and time are required for pre-processing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the time-consuming pre-processing step of modifying circuits to obtain only Z-axis rotations. By directly handling general Pauli rotations through classification and targeted synthesis, the method removes the intermediate transformation step while maintaining the optimized circuit output.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary classification of pivot rows by their rotation type before synthesis. This preliminary organization allows the algorithm to directly apply appropriate synthesis strategies without requiring subsequent complex transformations, thereby reducing overall processing time while maintaining optimization quality.
3Manufacturing precision
If circuit transformation is performed to obtain only rotational quantum gates along Z-axis, then optimized compiled circuits are obtained, but the transformation is complex and time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of transforming all rotations to Z-axis as the conventional approach, the patent inverts the strategy by directly synthesizing circuits for the given rotation types through classification. This inversion eliminates the transformation step while achieving comparable or better optimization by working with the original rotation types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different synthesis strategies locally based on the rotation type of each pivot row. Rather than forcing a uniform Z-axis transformation across the entire circuit, the algorithm selects appropriate synthesis methods for X-type, Y-type, and Z-type rows individually, reducing overall complexity while maintaining local optimization quality.
