Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If Grover-Rudolph state preparation or quantum generative adversarial networks are used for initial quantum state preparation, then quantum state preparation can be performed, but computational complexity increases significantly (O(2^n) CNOT gates), reducing quantum advantage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the quantum state preparation problem from the time domain to the frequency domain by representing the target quantum state as a superposition of Fourier basis functions. This parameter transformation allows the system to work with frequency coefficients instead of time-domain amplitudes, reducing the computational complexity from exponential O(2^n) to polynomial scaling in the number of qubits
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional quantum circuit model (using sequential quantum gates and operations) with a frequency-domain harmonic analysis approach. Instead of applying O(2^n) CNOT gates through quantum circuits, the system uses Fourier-based mathematical transformations to directly compute the quantum state preparation, substituting mechanical quantum operations with analytical frequency-domain methods
2Reliability
If traditional quantum circuit model with local-search methods (GRAPE, CRAB) is used for quantum optimal control, then quantum gate implementation can be achieved, but convergence to global optima is not guaranteed and performance is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the frequency-domain representation of the quantum state is continuously monitored and used to adjust the control parameters. The system computes the difference between the current state and target state in the frequency domain, then uses this feedback to iteratively optimize the control pulses, ensuring convergence to the global optimum while maintaining high fidelity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary frequency-domain analysis and Fourier decomposition of the target quantum state before implementing the actual quantum control. By pre-computing the frequency coefficients and basis functions, the system prepares the optimal control parameters in advance, enabling faster convergence during the actual quantum gate implementation without sacrificing fidelity
3Measurement precision
If quantum state preparation is performed accurately using conventional methods, then target state fidelity is achieved, but the time required increases significantly, eliminating quantum speed-up
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the quantum state preparation problem from the time dimension to the frequency dimension using Fourier transformation. By working in the frequency domain, the system can compute the entire quantum state evolution simultaneously through spectral analysis rather than stepping through time sequentially, achieving both high accuracy and reduced preparation time by exploiting the frequency-time duality
