Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If quantum files are searched using classical methods, then the system structure remains simple, but the searching efficiency and effectiveness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical mechanical search methods with quantum computing operations. Specifically, it uses quantum gates (such as Pauli-X gates) to manipulate qubit states and perform pattern matching operations that are fundamentally different from and more efficient than classical bit manipulation, thereby improving search efficiency while accepting the complexity of quantum system architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of data representation and processing by using qubits instead of classical bits. Quantum files store data in quantum states that can exist in superposition, allowing parallel processing of multiple search patterns simultaneously. This parameter change enables exponential speedup in certain search scenarios despite the increased complexity of quantum system management
2Adaptability or versatility
If pattern searching is performed on quantum files with multiple qubits, then the search capability is improved, but the difficulty of manipulating and managing quantum data increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the user and the quantum file system. This intermediary translates classical search patterns into quantum operations and translates quantum search results back into classical formats. This mediator handles the complexity of quantum state manipulation, entanglement management, and measurement processes, making the system easier to operate while maintaining enhanced search capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the quantum file into individual qubits or small groups of qubits that can be independently manipulated. Each qubit can be targeted with specific quantum gates to perform localized search operations. This segmentation allows for more manageable manipulation of quantum data while maintaining the overall search capability across the entire quantum file
Data Source
AI summary
Performing quantum file pattern searching is disclosed herein. In one example, a quantum search service executing on a quantum computing device receives, from a requestor, a search request including a search pattern. Upon receiving the search request, the quantum search service accesses a quantum file registry of a quantum file that includes a plurality of qubits. Based on the quantum file registry record, the quantum search service identifies the plurality of qubits, as well as the locations of each qubit of the plurality of qubits. The quantum search service then accesses a plurality of data values stored by the plurality of qubits, and compares the data values to the search pattern. If the quantum search service determines that one or more data values of the plurality of data values correspond to the search pattern, the quantum search service sends to the requestor a search response indicating a match.
