Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If optimal control theory is used to generate control sequences, then control precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for distortion models and iterative optimization
Solution Approach 1:
A distortion model is constructed beforehand to represent the nonlinear relationship between control signals and input signals. This preliminary model allows the optimization process to account for hardware distortions without requiring real-time complex computations, thus improving control precision while managing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The optimization process uses feedback from the distortion model to iteratively modify control sequences. By incorporating the distortion model into the optimization loop, the system can compensate for nonlinearities and uncertainties in classical control hardware, achieving high-fidelity control while keeping the complexity manageable through structured feedback mechanisms.
2Productivity
If high-power control signals are used to increase operation speed, then productivity is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to nonlinear distortions in control hardware
Solution Approach 1:
The distortion model is used to predict and compensate for nonlinear distortions before they affect the control sequence. By pre-characterizing the hardware's nonlinear behavior and incorporating this information into the optimization process, the system can generate control sequences that are resilient to distortions even when using high-power signals, thus maintaining both productivity and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The optimization process adjusts control signal parameters (amplitude, phase, duration) to account for nonlinear distortions. By modifying these parameters based on the distortion model, the system can achieve high operation speeds with high-power signals while compensating for reliability-deteriorating effects through parameter optimization.
3Manufacturing precision
If distortion models are incorporated into the control framework, then control fidelity is improved, but computational cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The distortion model is constructed and characterized in advance, allowing the optimization process to use pre-computed distortion information rather than performing complex real-time simulations. This preliminary action reduces computational time while maintaining high control fidelity by leveraging pre-analyzed hardware characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The distortion model creates a simplified representation (copy) of the complex nonlinear hardware behavior. This copy can be used efficiently in the optimization process without requiring full-scale simulations of the actual hardware, thus reducing computational time while preserving control fidelity through the accurate distortion characterization.

AI summary
In some aspects, a control system interacts with a quantum system. In some instances, the quantum system includes qubits that respond to a control signal generated by the control system, and the control system is configured to generate the control signal in response to an input signal. A control sequence (which may include, for example, a sequence of values for the input signal) can be generated by a computing system based on a target operation to be applied to the qubits. The control sequence can be generated based on the target operation, a quantum system model, a distortion model and possibly other information. The quantum system model represents the quantum system and includes a control parameter representing the control signal. The distortion model represents a nonlinear relationship between the control signal and the input signal. The control sequence is applied to the quantum system by operation of the control system.
