Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If quantum analog signals are converted to quantum digital signals using existing methods, then signal processing can be performed, but conversion efficiency and precision are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The conversion process is divided into distinct stages: quantum analog to quantum intermediate representation using swap operations, followed by quantum digital encoding. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving overall precision while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces quantum intermediate states as mediators between quantum analog and quantum digital representations. These intermediate states serve as a bridge that enables high-precision conversion by allowing gradual transformation and optimization at each step rather than direct conversion.
2Measurement precision
If hybrid analog-digital encoding operations are used, then encoding precision improves, but the number of operations and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The encoding process employs periodic swap operations and Fourier transformations that can be executed in repeated cycles. This periodic structure allows the system to achieve high precision through multiple passes while maintaining predictable processing time through systematic repetition of optimized operation sequences.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary Fourier transformations and swap operations to prepare quantum states in advance before final digital encoding. This preliminary action pre-processes the quantum analog signals, reducing the computational burden during the actual conversion phase and thereby decreasing overall processing time.
3Reliability
If multiple adder operations and Fourier transformations are applied, then signal conversion accuracy improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple adder operations and Fourier transformations are merged into integrated quantum circuit modules. By combining these operations into unified quantum gates and circuits, the patent maintains high conversion accuracy while reducing the apparent complexity through operational consolidation and shared computational resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The quantum processing units are designed with universal capabilities to perform multiple functions: adder operations, Fourier transformations, and swap operations all within the same hardware architecture. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity by eliminating the need for separate specialized components for each operation type.
