Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the quantum blockchain system into distinct functional modules: quantum circuit components for block storage, quantum gates for validation, and classical-compatibility interfaces for node identification. The quantum circuit is segmented into specific operations (Hadamard transforms, CNOT gates, Toffoli gates) that can be independently implemented and optimized for different blockchain operations.
