1Productivity
If classical computational methods are used for kernel estimation in support vector machines, then the classification can be performed using standard algorithms, but the computational cost becomes exponential and impractical when dealing with large feature spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical computational mechanics with quantum mechanical principles by implementing a quantum feature map circuit that uses quantum gates (Hadamard gates and global phase gates) to process data. This substitution allows the system to leverage quantum parallelism and interference effects to compute kernel estimates exponentially faster than classical methods for high-dimensional feature spaces
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from classical computational dimensionality to quantum Hilbert space dimensionality by mapping classical data into quantum states. The quantum feature map circuit operates in a high-dimensional quantum state space where kernel estimation becomes tractable, effectively adding a quantum dimension to the computational problem that allows efficient processing of features that would be intractable classically
2Measurement precision
If the feature space dimensionality is increased to improve classification accuracy, then better separation of classes can be achieved, but the kernel estimation becomes computationally infeasible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the classical computational system with a quantum system that can naturally handle high-dimensional feature spaces. The quantum feature map circuit uses quantum entanglement and superposition to represent and process high-dimensional data, substituting the exponential computational complexity of classical systems with polynomial-time quantum operations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of the computational system by transitioning from classical bits to quantum bits (qubits). This parameter change enables the system to represent feature space dimensionality in a fundamentally different way, where the quantum state can encode high-dimensional information using fewer physical resources while maintaining classification accuracy
