Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional quantum control techniques are used, then quantum computations can be performed, but the control process is time-consuming and causes qubit decoherence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the 2D lattice structure with designated control qubits and data qubits before computation begins. The control qubits are pre-positioned to be adjacent to their target data qubits, so that when computation starts, the control operations can be executed immediately without time-consuming reconfiguration or movement operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces control qubits as intermediary elements between the classical control system and the data qubits. These control qubits act as mediators that receive control signals and transfer them to the appropriate data qubits, enabling efficient quantum control operations while preserving coherence by minimizing direct interaction time between classical systems and fragile quantum states.
2Productivity
If the number of qubits increases, then computational power increases, but the number of required SWAP operations and quantum gates increases, leading to more decoherence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional linear or hierarchical qubit arrangements to a two-dimensional lattice structure. This dimensional change allows control qubits to be positioned adjacent to multiple data qubits simultaneously, enabling parallel control operations. The 2D arrangement reduces the path length and number of SWAP operations needed to establish control relationships, even as the total number of qubits scales up.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the quantum system into distinct control qubits and data qubits with specific functional roles. Control qubits are dedicated to performing control operations, while data qubits store and process information. This segmentation allows for specialized optimization of each subsystem and reduces the overall complexity of control operations across large-scale quantum systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If more quantum gates are used to control operations, then computational functionality increases, but decoherence and inaccuracies increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the control functionality into the spatial arrangement of qubits rather than requiring separate control circuits. By positioning control qubits adjacent to data qubits in the 2D lattice, the control relationship is embedded in the system's structure itself. This merging eliminates the need for additional quantum gates that would otherwise be required to establish control relationships, thereby maintaining functionality while reducing decoherence.
