Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If pulses are generated in real-time based on quantum logic gates, then the system can manipulate qubits accurately, but the operation speed becomes slow due to high computing resource consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequbit manipulation accuracyVSAvoidoperation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-generates and stores basic pulses corresponding to fundamental quantum logic gates (such as Pauli gates and Hadamard gates) before actual quantum computation. When a complex quantum logic gate needs to be executed, it is decomposed into a sequence of these basic gates, and the corresponding pre-generated pulses are retrieved and combined, eliminating the need for real-time pulse generation and significantly improving operation speed while maintaining manipulation accuracy.

2Adaptability or versatility

If complex quantum logic gates are implemented directly, then complete quantum operations can be performed, but computing power consumption increases and operation speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantum operation capabilityVSAvoidcomputing power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent decomposes complex quantum logic gates into sequences of basic quantum logic gates (such as breaking down a general single-qubit gate into Pauli gates and Hadamard gates). Each basic gate has a corresponding pre-generated pulse stored in memory. By segmenting complex operations into basic components, the system retrieves and combines pre-generated pulses instead of generating new pulses in real-time, reducing computing power consumption while maintaining complete quantum operation capability.

Inventive Principle:

3Reliability

If real-time pulse generation is performed for each quantum logic gate, then accurate qubit manipulation is achieved, but the system running speed becomes slow

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-generates pulses for basic quantum logic gates and stores them in a memory device before actual quantum computation begins. During computation, when a quantum logic gate needs to be executed, the system retrieves the corresponding pre-generated pulse from memory and applies it to the qubit. This preliminary preparation eliminates real-time pulse generation overhead, significantly improving system running speed while maintaining accurate qubit state control through the use of precisely engineered pre-generated pulses.

AI summary

Provided are a quantum pulse determining method, apparatus, device and readable storage medium, where basic pulses corresponding to basic logic gates are set in advance, the method including: when manipulating a qubit according to a quantum logic gate, splitting the quantum logic gate to obtain sub-logic gates; and searching for sub-pulses corresponding to the sub-logic gates among the basic pulses, and manipulating the qubit according to the sub-pulse. Basic pulses are set in advance in the method, apparatus, device and readable storage medium provided by the embodiments. When a qubit is to be manipulated, the quantum logic gate can be split into multiple sub-logic gates, and then sub-pulses corresponding to the sub-logic gates are searched for among the basic pulses.
