Solution Approach 1:

A classical processor acts as an intermediary between the quantum processor and the control system. The classical processor receives quantum program instructions, optimizes them using machine learning models to generate optimized quantum pulses, and then transmits these pulses to the quantum processor for execution. This intermediary approach allows the quantum processor to focus on computation while the classical processor handles optimization tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model performs preliminary optimization of quantum pulses before they are executed on the quantum processor. Historical data from previous quantum computing processes is used to train the model, enabling it to predict optimal pulse parameters in advance. This preliminary action reduces the need for real-time adjustments and improves overall system efficiency.

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from historical quantum computing processes to continuously improve the machine learning model. Performance data from executed quantum programs is fed back into the training process, allowing the model to learn from past successes and failures. This feedback mechanism enables the model to achieve high accuracy over time without requiring excessive computational time for each individual optimization task.
