1Measurement precision
If traditional numerical methods are used to solve systems of nonlinear equations, then the solutions can be obtained with classical computers, but the computational complexity is high and the time to obtain accurate solutions is long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical computational mechanisms with quantum computational mechanisms. By using quantum circuits and quantum state evolution to solve linear equations (which can represent nonlinear equations through appropriate encoding), the system achieves exponential speedup in computation time while maintaining solution accuracy, directly addressing the time-loss contradiction
2Measurement precision
If traditional numerical methods are used to solve systems of nonlinear equations, then the problems can be solved with existing classical computing resources, but the computational complexity beyond traditional computing power limits accurate solutions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes quantum computational resources for classical computational resources. By formulating the problem as a quantum linear system solution (which can encode nonlinear problems) and using quantum algorithms, the system reduces the computational resource burden while achieving high-precision solutions that exceed classical computing capabilities
3Productivity
If quantum computation is used to solve systems of nonlinear equations, then the computational speed can be exponentially improved compared with classical algorithms, but the construction of quantum algorithms for nonlinear problems is difficult due to the linearity of quantum computation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the solution process into two parts: first converting the nonlinear equation system into a linear equation system (which can be solved by quantum algorithms), and then retrieving the solution. This segmentation allows the use of quantum computational speedup while avoiding the fundamental limitation of quantum linearity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary transformation step that converts nonlinear problems into linear problems. This intermediary process (the conversion from nonlinear to linear equations) acts as a bridge, allowing quantum computational methods to be applied to originally nonlinear problems, thus achieving speedup while managing algorithm construction complexity
