1Productivity
If classical computational methods are used to calculate response functions, then the calculation can be performed with existing technology, but the computational complexity increases exponentially with system size
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical computational mechanics with quantum mechanical simulation. By using a quantum computer to simulate quantum system evolution, the method leverages quantum parallelism to achieve exponential speedup in calculating response functions, directly addressing the computational complexity bottleneck of classical methods
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameter of computation from classical bits to quantum states. By representing the quantum system's Hilbert space evolution through quantum state manipulation rather than classical matrix operations, the method transforms an exponentially complex classical problem into a polynomial-scale quantum computation
2Measurement precision
If the Hilbert space size is increased to accurately represent quantum systems with excited states, then measurement precision improves, but the computational resources required increase exponentially
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses quantum state copying and interference to represent multiple excited states simultaneously. By preparing a quantum superposition that encodes the Hilbert space and using quantum interference to extract response function information, the method achieves high measurement precision without requiring exponential classical computational resources to store and process each state individually
3Reliability
If environmental dissipative effects are included in the simulation, then the model accuracy improves, but the computational cost increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary quantum channel or ancilla system to model environmental dissipation effects. By coupling the system of interest to an auxiliary quantum environment and tracking their joint evolution, the method accurately captures dissipative effects while maintaining computational efficiency through the structured interaction model

AI summary
The method can include, for each one of one or more paths along which the quantum system may evolve from an initial state to a final state due to one or more actions of an effect : performing a plurality of iterations, each iteration including: preparing the initial state of the quantum system in a system register of the quantum computer; applying a sequence of operators interspersed with time evolutions in a permutation specific to the corresponding path, wherein the operators are one or more operators corresponding to the one or more actions of the effect and an operator corresponding to the action of an observable of the quantum system, the operators are applied by block encoding, and the time evolutions each correspond to one or more of the one or more time delays.
