1Productivity
If traditional database operations are used in quantum computing systems, then the operations can be performed, but the efficiency and speed are significantly reduced compared to quantum-capable operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional classical database operation mechanisms with quantum mechanical operations. Specifically, it uses quantum circuits with controlled-NOT gates and quantum superposition states to perform insert, update, and search operations on quantum databases, achieving exponential speedup over classical mechanical database operations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of database operations by transitioning from classical binary states to quantum superposition states. The quantum database uses qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, allowing parallel processing of database operations and achieving O(1) time complexity for certain operations compared to O(N) in classical systems
2Speed
If quantum circuits are designed for database operations, then the speedup is achieved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the quantum database into multiple registers, where each register stores specific types of data. The update circuit is also segmented into multiple quantum gates that operate on specific registers independently. This modular segmentation allows for easier circuit design and maintenance while achieving fast update operations through parallel quantum gate operations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs preliminary action by pre-preparing quantum states and entanglement relationships before actual database operations. The quantum circuit establishes necessary superposition states and entanglement patterns in advance, allowing subsequent update and search operations to execute rapidly without requiring complex real-time computations
