Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If quantum computer systems operate in dedicated laboratory environments with controlled conditions, then operational reliability is improved, but flexibility and mobility are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary power supply device between the external power source and the quantum computer. This intermediary unit performs voltage regulation and isolation, acting as a buffer that protects the quantum computer from external electrical disturbances while enabling operation in diverse environments. The intermediary device translates unstable external power into stable, controlled power suitable for quantum computing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting voltage and current parameters through multi-stage voltage regulation. The power supply device monitors and modifies electrical parameters in real-time to maintain optimal operating conditions for the quantum computer regardless of the external environment, thereby enabling reliable operation across different locations.
2Reliability
If quantum computer systems use stable power supplies with precise voltage control, then operational reliability is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the power supply system into distinct functional stages: a first voltage regulation stage for coarse voltage adjustment and a second voltage regulation stage for fine-tuned voltage control. This segmentation allows each stage to specialize in specific tasks, making the overall complex function more manageable and modular while ensuring stable power delivery to the quantum computer.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply device serves as an intermediary that encapsulates the complexity of voltage regulation and isolation. By placing this complex intermediary unit between the external power source and the quantum computer, the patent hides the complexity from the quantum computer system while maintaining reliable operation. The intermediary absorbs and manages the complexity of power stabilization.
3Adaptability or versatility
If quantum computer systems are designed for relocatability, then flexibility is improved, but power supply stability is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply device acts as a protective intermediary that decouples the quantum computer from the instability of mobile power sources. Even when the quantum computer is relocated to different locations with varying power infrastructure, the intermediary unit maintains stable, regulated power delivery, thereby preserving both relocatability and power supply stability simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The multi-stage voltage regulation system dynamically adjusts voltage and current parameters to compensate for variations in external power sources. By continuously monitoring and modifying electrical parameters, the system maintains stable power delivery regardless of location, enabling reliable operation during relocation.
4Reliability
If quantum computer systems use multi-stage voltage regulation, then power supply stability is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The voltage regulation function is segmented into multiple independent stages, each handling a specific aspect of voltage control. The first stage performs coarse regulation while the second stage performs fine regulation, allowing the system to achieve high stability through modular, manageable components rather than a single complex unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply device performs preliminary voltage regulation and isolation actions before the power reaches the quantum computer. By pre-stabilizing the voltage through multi-stage regulation and isolation transformers, the system prevents instability from affecting the quantum computer, thereby achieving stability without requiring complex control mechanisms at the quantum computer itself.
