1Measurement precision
If classical statistical methods are used to analyze high-dimensional data streams, then data analysis can be performed, but computational resources are consumed excessively and detection accuracy is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical mechanical computing systems with a quantum computing system. The quantum circuit uses quantum mechanical principles (superposition, entanglement, interference) to perform changepoint detection. Specifically, the system encodes data subsets into quantum states, applies quantum Fourier transforms, and uses interference patterns to detect changepoints, achieving high accuracy with reduced computational resource consumption compared to classical methods.
2Productivity
If quantum computing is used to detect changepoints, then detection speed and efficiency improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the quantum circuit into distinct functional modules: (1) quantum state encoding module that encodes data subsets into quantum states, (2) quantum Fourier transform module that applies Fourier transforms to the quantum states, (3) interference module that creates interference patterns through controlled superposition, and (4) measurement module that detects changepoints from the interference patterns. This modular segmentation makes the complex quantum system more manageable and implementable while maintaining high detection speed.
3Productivity
If data is encoded into quantum states for processing, then computational efficiency improves, but data privacy may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary information for changepoint detection from the original data and encodes it into quantum states. The quantum circuit processes only the essential features needed for detection, discarding unnecessary data details. This extraction approach maintains processing efficiency while preserving data privacy, as the full original data is not stored or exposed, only the processed quantum representations are manipulated during computation.

AI summary
A method may include obtaining a first and a second quantum state that represent different subsets of a multivariate dataset. The method may include configuring a quantum circuit that includes an ancillary qubit initialized to a zero state, a first qubit including the first quantum state, and a second qubit including the second quantum state. The method may include applying a first Hadamard transformation to the ancillary qubit, and responsive to the first Hadamard transformation returning a particular value, swapping the first and second qubits such that the second qubit represents the first quantum state and the first qubit represents the second quantum state. The method may include applying a second Hadamard transformation to the ancillary qubit, and responsive to observing a measurement outcome of zero, it may be determined that a changepoint does not occur between the data samples corresponding to the first and second data subsets.
