Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces classical mechanical computation systems with quantum computing systems. Specifically, it uses quantum Fourier transforms instead of classical FFT, and the HHL algorithm instead of classical linear system solvers, to achieve exponential speedup in computing linear prediction coefficients while maintaining result accuracy through quantum measurement collapse to definite values.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameters of computation by transitioning from classical bits to quantum bits (qubits), enabling parallel computation through superposition. The system prepares quantum states representing signal frames and uses quantum operations to compute autocorrelation and solve linear systems, achieving faster computation with O(log N) complexity compared to classical O(N) or O(N^3).
