1Speed

If a quantum computer is used for quantum computation, then processing speed and parallel operation capability are improved, but error rate increases and resource limitations occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiderror rate
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments quantum computation tasks into discrete quantum calculation blocks that can be independently managed and executed. Each block contains specific quantum operations that can be allocated to appropriate calculators based on their capabilities and current state, allowing selective use of quantum computers for critical path operations while using simulators for less time-sensitive computations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A block map management module acts as an intermediary between quantum calculation blocks and quantum calculators. This mediator analyzes task characteristics, calculator availability, and error thresholds to make intelligent allocation decisions, matching computation blocks to the most suitable calculators (quantum computers or simulators) based on real-time conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a quantum simulator is used for quantum computation, then error rate decreases and processing speed improves, but the number of operable qubits is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror rateVSAvoidnumber of qubits
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Quantum computation tasks are divided into smaller quantum calculation blocks that can be distributed across multiple calculators. This segmentation allows simulators to handle blocks requiring fewer qubits while quantum computers handle blocks requiring larger qubit counts, effectively overcoming the qubit limitation of individual simulators through parallel distributed execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal quantum computation platform that can execute the same quantum calculation blocks on different types of calculators (quantum computers and simulators). The block map management module enables the same computational logic to be run on various hardware configurations, making the system adaptable to different resource constraints and capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis and classification of quantum calculation blocks before execution. The block map management module pre-evaluates task characteristics, required resources, and suitable calculator types, creating an optimized allocation plan in advance. This preliminary action simplifies real-time decision-making and reduces optimization complexity during actual execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where execution results, error rates, and resource utilization data from quantum calculators are continuously monitored and fed back to the block map management module. This feedback enables dynamic adjustment of allocation strategies, learning from past performance to optimize future resource distribution and reduce complexity over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
