Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If conventional quantum memory systems are used, then quantum computing operations can be performed, but access time to storage locations is slow and error rates are high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess timeVSAvoiderror rate
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The quantum memory is divided into multiple storage locations that can be independently addressed. Each location can store quantum information separately, allowing parallel access operations. The system uses address registers and data registers that are segmented into qubits, enabling selective access to specific storage locations without affecting others, thus improving access speed while maintaining reliability through targeted operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces control qubits as intermediaries between the address register and storage locations. These control qubits mediate the access process by being entangled with address qubits and controlling the transfer of quantum information. This intermediary mechanism enables precise control over which storage location is accessed, reducing errors while maintaining fast access through quantum parallelism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If quantum RAM capacity is increased, then more data can be stored, but access complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveRAM capacityVSAvoidaccess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses dynamic control through adjustable control qubits that can be prepared in different quantum states. By dynamically adjusting the state of control qubits, the system can selectively access any storage location regardless of the total capacity. This dynamic control mechanism allows the access complexity to remain constant O(1) even as RAM capacity scales, because the control qubits adapt their state based on the desired access pattern rather than requiring complex routing logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of control qubit states to enable access to different storage locations. Instead of using fixed complex addressing logic, the system varies the quantum state parameters of control qubits (such as superposition coefficients and phase angles) to selectively address any location in the expanded memory. This parameter-based addressing maintains constant access complexity while allowing RAM capacity to scale from m to 2m qubits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
