Solution Approach 1:

The quantum circuit is divided into multiple stages, with noise processes inserted at specific intervals (e.g., after every k quantum gates). This segmentation allows the system to simulate noise effects without requiring full exponential-scale matrix computations across the entire circuit, thereby reducing computation cost while maintaining simulation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces adjustable parameters such as the noise insertion interval (k gates) and noise strength parameters that allow optimization between accuracy and computation cost. By changing these parameters, users can balance the trade-off between simulation fidelity and computational resources based on specific requirements.

Solution Approach 1:

The noise model is made dynamic by allowing noise characteristics to change based on the quantum gate being executed. Different noise parameters are applied depending on the gate type and its position in the circuit, enabling accurate modeling of coherent errors that interfere with specific gate operations while maintaining manageable simulation complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

Different noise models and parameters are applied locally to different parts of the quantum circuit based on specific requirements. Instead of using a uniform noise model throughout, the patent applies tailored noise characteristics to specific gates or circuit sections where coherent errors are most significant, improving overall simulation accuracy without excessive complexity.
