Solution Overview

Problem

As quantum computing becomes more prevalent, there is a need for efficient synchronization of data values and quantum states of qubits across different quantum computing devices or storage in classical files, particularly in response to trigger events such as service completion or qubit deallocation, which existing technologies do not adequately address.

Innovation Solution

A synchronization service on a quantum computing device detects synchronization trigger events and performs operations on destination files, either quantum or classical, to propagate data values or quantum states, ensuring safe access and storage, thereby maintaining data consistency and integrity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If quantum computing devices operate independently without synchronization mechanisms, then device complexity is reduced, but data consistency and state integrity across devices deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata consistencyVSAvoidsynchronization mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a quantum file system as an intermediary layer between quantum computing devices, which manages synchronization operations. The quantum file system includes synchronization triggers and operation managers that coordinate state changes without requiring direct complex interactions between devices, thus maintaining data consistency while managing complexity through abstraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through synchronization triggers that monitor quantum file states and initiate synchronization operations when specific conditions are met. This feedback loop ensures data consistency by automatically responding to state changes, while the feedback-based approach avoids continuous complex monitoring, managing system complexity efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If synchronization operations are performed manually, then automation complexity is reduced, but productivity and data propagation efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata propagation speedVSAvoidsynchronization automation level
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The quantum file system implements self-service synchronization through automated triggers that detect state changes and initiate propagation operations without manual intervention. The system automatically manages synchronization based on predefined conditions, significantly improving data propagation speed while the automation is constrained to specific trigger-based operations, preventing excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes preliminary synchronization configurations and trigger conditions in advance, allowing the system to automatically execute appropriate synchronization operations when events occur. This preliminary setup enables rapid automated response without requiring complex real-time decision-making, balancing productivity improvement with manageable automation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If all quantum states are synchronized continuously, then data consistency is improved, but energy consumption and computational resources worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestate synchronization accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic synchronization triggered by specific events rather than continuous synchronization. The quantum file system monitors for state changes and only initiates synchronization operations when triggers are activated, ensuring data consistency is maintained while avoiding the continuous energy consumption and computational overhead of constant synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs synchronization selectively based on trigger conditions rather than synchronizing all states continuously. This partial action approach synchronizes only when necessary, maintaining adequate data consistency while significantly reducing energy consumption and computational resource usage compared to continuous full synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Performing quantum data and state synchronization is disclosed herein. In one example, a quantum computing device comprises a system memory and a processor device communicatively coupled to the system memory. The processor device is to detect a synchronization trigger event corresponding to a first qubit of a first quantum file. Responsive to detecting the synchronization trigger event, the processor device is to perform one or more synchronization operations on a destination synchronization file based on the synchronization trigger event. The destination synchronization file may comprise a second quantum file, or a classical file on a classical computing device. The synchronization trigger event may comprise a modification of a data value stored by the first qubit, a completion of execution of a quantum service, a notification of an upcoming qubit deallocation, a modification of a quantum state of the first qubit, or a teleportation of quantum information using the first qubit.
