Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If quantum computing networks use physical quantum computing devices for service execution, then execution speed and quantum capability are improved, but system complexity and difficulty of simulating diverse operating states increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveexecution speedVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates virtual copies (simulator nodes) of quantum computing devices that simulate different operating states. These simulator nodes are classical computing representations that replicate quantum device behavior, allowing the system to manage complexity by working with simulated models rather than directly controlling multiple physical quantum devices for each operating state.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the quantum computing network into distinct execution nodes, where each node represents a specific operating state of a quantum device. This segmentation allows the system to divide the complex task of managing quantum computing resources into manageable, state-specific simulator nodes that can be independently controlled and routed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the quantum computing network creates multiple simulator nodes for different operating states, then service routing flexibility and execution optimization are improved, but network complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice routing flexibilityVSAvoidnetwork complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal quantum computing network architecture where simulator nodes can serve multiple purposes: they can simulate different operating states of the same quantum device, handle various quantum services, and function as both training and execution environments. This multi-functionality increases versatility while managing network complexity through a unified framework.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a service execution manager as an intermediary component that coordinates between quantum service requests and the appropriate simulator nodes. This mediator handles the complexity of routing decisions, matching services to optimal executing nodes based on operating states, and managing the network's overall execution workflow without requiring direct complex interactions between all components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical or manual routing decision-making processes with an automated service execution manager that uses algorithmic logic to match quantum services with appropriate simulator nodes. This substitution of automated computational logic for manual or complex mechanical routing systems improves execution efficiency while managing the complexity through systematic, rule-based decision-making.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Ease of operation

If the system uses classical quantum simulator nodes to simulate quantum device operating states, then system accessibility and ease of operation are improved, but computational resource requirements and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs classical simulator nodes that are computationally less intensive and can be rapidly instantiated and discarded compared to physical quantum devices. These simulator nodes serve as temporary, on-demand representations of quantum device states, providing easy access to quantum computing functionality without the prohibitive resource requirements of maintaining actual quantum hardware for every simulation scenario.
