1Productivity

If quantum algorithms are executed on quantum computer systems, then computational capabilities are improved, but error rates and decoherence increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational capabilityVSAvoiderror rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary error correction before executing quantum algorithms. The error correction history is analyzed in advance to determine the optimal quantum computer system for execution, and error correction is applied proactively to mitigate potential errors before they occur during algorithm execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes feedback from error correction history to improve future executions. By analyzing past error correction data and storing it in a database, the system learns from previous errors and adjusts its scheduling and error correction strategies accordingly, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that continuously improves reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If error correction is applied to quantum algorithms, then reliability is improved, but execution time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror correction effectivenessVSAvoidalgorithm execution time
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Error correction is performed preliminarily before algorithm execution based on historical error patterns. By identifying high-risk algorithms from error correction history and applying targeted error correction in advance, the system reduces the need for extensive real-time error correction during execution, thereby minimizing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts error correction parameters based on the specific algorithm being executed and its historical error profile. By changing parameters such as the level of error correction applied or the specific error correction techniques used, the system optimizes the balance between reliability improvement and time expenditure.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically analyzes error correction history and makes intelligent scheduling decisions without requiring manual intervention. The scheduler component autonomously queries the database for error history, evaluates multiple quantum computer systems, and selects the optimal target system, thereby maintaining ease of operation while dramatically improving reliability through data-driven decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
