Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If quantum algorithms are specified as quantum circuits on idealized hardware, then the algorithm design is simplified, but the execution performance on actual quantum devices deteriorates due to hardware restrictions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a quantum compiler as an intermediary system between the idealized quantum algorithm and the actual quantum hardware. The compiler receives quantum assembly language written for idealized hardware, translates it into device-specific quantum circuits optimized for the target device's architecture and constraints, and outputs the compiled circuit ready for execution. This mediator resolves the contradiction by maintaining algorithm design simplicity while adapting to hardware restrictions through intelligent translation and optimization.
2Reliability
If quantum circuits are compiled for specific quantum devices, then the execution performance is optimized, but the compilation process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the quantum compilation process into distinct modular stages: (1) receiving quantum assembly language, (2) selecting target quantum devices from a repository, (3) translating to device-specific quantum circuits, and (4) executing on the selected device. This segmentation reduces overall complexity by breaking down the compilation task into manageable, independent steps that can be optimized and parallelized separately, making the complex compilation process more manageable and maintainable.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a remote repository of quantum algorithm implementations is used, then the versatility and adaptability are improved, but the system complexity and data management requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal quantum algorithm repository that stores quantum assembly language implementations compatible with multiple different quantum device types. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including: storing algorithms in a centralized repository, selecting appropriate algorithms based on target device characteristics, translating algorithms to device-specific circuits, and executing on various quantum hardware platforms. This universal approach improves versatility while managing complexity through standardized interfaces and abstraction layers.

AI summary
A set of quantum assembly language referencing a quantum algorithm is received from a user. A quantum device is selected to execute the set of quantum assembly language. Responsive to the selected quantum device, an implementation of the quantum algorithm from a remote repository is selected, the remote repository comprising a set of implementations of a set of quantum algorithms. An implementation in the set of implementations in the remote repository is compiled to form a compiled quantum circuit. The compiled quantum circuit is transformed into a quantum circuit model. Using the selected quantum device, the quantum circuit model is executed.
