Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If classical machine learning algorithms are used to solve quantum problems, then the problems can be addressed using existing computational frameworks, but the computational complexity becomes exponential due to the large many-body Hilbert space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical computational mechanisms with quantum mechanical mechanisms by implementing a quantum convolutional neural network that uses quantum channels, quantum entanglement, and quantum measurement to process quantum states directly, thereby avoiding the exponential complexity of classical approaches
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of the computational system by transitioning from classical bits to quantum qudits, enabling the representation and manipulation of quantum states with polynomial rather than exponential resources
2Productivity
If quantum channels are applied to convolving subgroups of qudits with fixed size independent of total qudits, then the processing efficiency is improved, but the network architecture becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the quantum input data into convolving subgroups of fixed size that are processed in parallel by quantum channels, enabling efficient processing that scales independently of the total number of qudits while maintaining a structured network architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates universal quantum convolutional layers that can process any subgroup of qudits with the same fixed size, making the network architecture reusable and scalable across different problem sizes without increasing architectural complexity
3Quantity of substance
If pooling layers with generalized measurement are applied to reduce qudit subgroups, then the data dimensionality is reduced, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary quantum channel operations and convolving layers before pooling to prepare the quantum state in a form that is more amenable to measurement, thereby reducing the precision requirements of subsequent generalized measurements while achieving effective dimensionality reduction
