Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users directly access multiple quantum computing technologies, then technology performance and capabilities are improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to requiring specialized knowledge and resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a quantum computing service as an intermediary layer between users and quantum hardware. This service translates high-level quantum computing objects into technology-specific instructions, allowing users to access multiple quantum computing technologies without needing to understand their underlying complexities. The service acts as a mediator that handles the complexity of different quantum paradigms while presenting a unified interface to users.
Solution Approach 2:
The quantum computing service provides universal access to multiple quantum computing technologies through a single unified interface. Instead of requiring separate systems for different quantum paradigms, the service enables one system to handle various quantum computing objects across multiple technologies, reducing the need for users to manage multiple complex systems separately.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users directly access multiple quantum computing technologies, then technology performance and capabilities are improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring specialized expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The quantum computing service serves as an intermediary that abstracts away the specialized knowledge requirements of different quantum computing technologies. It translates user-friendly quantum computing objects into technology-specific instructions, allowing users with limited expertise to access and utilize multiple quantum computing paradigms through a simplified interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The service creates and manages copies of quantum computing objects across different technology platforms. Instead of requiring users to manually adapt their quantum algorithms for each technology, the service automatically translates and executes appropriate copies on suitable quantum hardware, making the system easier to operate while maintaining access to multiple technologies.
3Adaptability or versatility
If quantum computing service translates and executes objects across multiple technologies, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but device complexity and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The quantum computing service is segmented into distinct functional components: object translation, technology selection, execution management, and result aggregation. This segmentation allows the service to handle multiple quantum computing technologies through modular processing steps, making the overall complexity manageable while maintaining versatility across different quantum paradigms.
