Solution Overview
Problem
Unauthorized access and manipulation of resource access and distribution have become easier with technological advancements, making it difficult to track the lineage and location of resource instruments, particularly in cases of misappropriation.
Innovation Solution
A system combining a classical computer with a quantum optimizer to identify, track, and analyze the lineage of resource instruments by coding them with a unique qubit index, generating a lineage tree that includes inception, transactions, and current location, enabling detection of misappropriation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If quantum optimizer is used to generate lineage tracks, then measurement precision of resource tracking is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the tracking function into two segments: classical computers handle resource instrument identification and data collection, while quantum optimizers handle the complex lineage tree generation and optimization. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in its strength without requiring the entire system to be quantum-based.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer that translates between classical computer data structures and quantum optimizer inputs/outputs. This intermediary handles the conversion of resource instrument data into formats suitable for quantum processing and translates quantum-generated lineage tracks back into usable formats, masking the quantum complexity from end users.
2Productivity
If quantum computing is used for optimization, then productivity of lineage analysis is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates simplified copies or representations of the complex quantum-generated lineage data that are easy for users to interpret. Instead of presenting raw quantum optimization results, the system generates user-friendly visualizations and summaries that maintain the analytical power of quantum computing while being accessible to non-expert users.
3Reliability
If unique qubit indexing is implemented for all resource instruments, then reliability of resource tracking is improved, but loss of information increases due to quantum state measurement limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classical data collection and verification before submitting data to quantum optimizers. This preliminary action ensures that only necessary and verified information is processed quantumly, reducing the risk of information loss during quantum measurement while maintaining tracking reliability.

AI summary
Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for a lineage identification and tracking system. The system generates codes each resource instrument created, such as physical or paper resource instrument, with an index that can track the instrument via a qubit. The coded index is stored. During the life of the resource instrument a quantum optimizer may be utilized for lineage tracking of the instrument. Thus, generating an assigned traceability finger print for the life of the instrument generating a lineage tree. Thus, the invention identifies the instrument and that the instrument can only be at one place at one time, thus providing aid in detecting misappropriation of physical or paper resource instruments.
