Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional approaches to quantum circuit orchestration in quantum computing are inadequate as they rely solely on rudimentary metadata such as qubits and circuit depth, failing to provide robust predictive models for resource allocation and performance, and quantum circuits lack intrinsic knowledge about their execution purpose.

Innovation Solution

An algorithm employing machine learning models uses additional metadata, such as the type of algorithm, industry, and entanglement characteristics, generated by an intermediate classical computing layer to predict resource allocation and performance, simulating quantum mechanical effects on classical infrastructure for informed orchestration decisions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If only rudimentary metadata (qubits and circuit depth) is used for orchestration, then the system complexity is low, but the predictive accuracy for resource allocation is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictive accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by extracting additional metadata characteristics from quantum circuits before orchestration decisions are made. This includes analyzing circuit topology, gate types, and other structural features in advance to build a richer metadata profile that improves predictive accuracy without adding complexity during real-time execution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary classical computing layer that acts as a mediator between the quantum circuit description and the orchestration system. This intermediary layer extracts and processes additional metadata characteristics, transforming raw circuit information into enriched metadata that enhances predictive capabilities while isolating the complexity from the core orchestration logic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If additional metadata characteristics are extracted and used, then the predictive model becomes more robust, but the metadata processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel robustnessVSAvoidmetadata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The metadata extraction and processing is segmented into distinct, modular components that analyze different aspects of quantum circuits independently (e.g., circuit topology analysis, gate type analysis, structural feature extraction). Each segment produces specific metadata characteristics that are then combined, allowing for systematic processing and easier maintenance while building a robust predictive model

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If quantum circuits execute without intrinsic knowledge of their purpose, then the execution is simple and fast, but the orchestration cannot make informed decisions about resource allocation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexecution simplicityVSAvoidcontext information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds another dimension to the quantum circuit representation by extracting and attaching metadata characteristics that capture contextual information about the circuit's purpose, structure, and requirements. This metadata dimension enriches the circuit description without altering the quantum circuit itself, allowing orchestration systems to make informed decisions while keeping the quantum execution simple and unchanged

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

One example method includes deploying, in a production environment, a machine learning model that was trained using metadata created by an intermediate classical computing layer, and the metadata comprises information about one or more aspects of a quantum circuit, generating, with the machine learning model, a prediction as to how one or more computing infrastructures may be expected to perform when executing the quantum circuit, based on the prediction, making an orchestration decision concerning the quantum circuit, and orchestrating the quantum circuit to one of the computing infrastructures.
