Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces scalable-limiting classical computational methods with quantum computing algorithms that inherently scale better. The quantum algorithm's complexity grows polynomially rather than exponentially with the number of qubits, enabling scalability to large quantum systems while maintaining accuracy through the quantum mechanical framework.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the determination of counter-diabatic terms into independent calculations for each Pauli matrix component. This segmentation allows parallel computation of individual terms, improving scalability as each component can be processed separately and combined, reducing the computational burden for large numbers of qubits.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback through Physics-Informed Neural Networks that continuously monitor and adjust the evolution schedule. The PINN uses the adiabatic condition as a feedback criterion, optimizing the time-dependent parameter λ(t) to maintain adiabaticity even during faster evolution. The network learns from physical constraints and adjusts the evolution trajectory to prevent non-adiabatic transitions.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the static adiabatic condition into a dynamic optimization problem. Instead of fixing the evolution schedule, the system dynamically adjusts the evolution parameter λ(t) based on real-time constraints and objectives. The PINN optimizes the time-dependent evolution path, allowing the system to adaptively maintain adiabaticity while achieving faster evolution times through intelligent scheduling.
