1Reliability
If conventional methods are used for qubit state preparation, then the process is straightforward, but the fidelity is low due to noise and uncertainty
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces detector qubits as intermediary elements that mediate between the quantum state to be prepared and the measurement system. These detector qubits interact with the system qubits through controlled quantum operations, enabling indirect measurement and state verification without directly collapsing the system state, thereby improving measurement fidelity while managing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements an iterative feedback mechanism where measurement results from detector qubits are used to update and refine the quantum steering circuit parameters. This closed-loop approach allows the system to adapt to noise and uncertainty by continuously optimizing the state preparation process based on actual measurement outcomes, significantly improving fidelity.
2Measurement precision
If quantum steering with detector qubits is used, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the quantum measurement system into separate functional components: system qubits that hold the quantum state, detector qubits that measure the state, and classical processing units that analyze measurement results. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system architecture while maintaining high measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
Detector qubits serve as intermediary elements between the system qubits and the classical measurement system. They interact with system qubits through controlled quantum operations to extract information without directly collapsing the system state, enabling precise measurement while managing the complexity of the quantum circuit structure.
3Reliability
If iterative machine learning updates are applied to steering circuits, then state preparation fidelity improves, but computation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary classical optimization of the quantum steering circuit parameters using machine learning algorithms before executing the quantum state preparation. This pre-computation of optimal parameters reduces the number of iterations needed during actual quantum execution, thereby improving fidelity while minimizing the time loss associated with iterative updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous optimization where the machine learning algorithm continuously refines the steering circuit parameters based on measurement feedback. This continuous improvement process allows the system to converge to high-fidelity state preparation more efficiently, balancing the trade-off between iteration time and achieved fidelity by maintaining persistent optimization rather than discrete restarts.

AI summary
A quantum computer prepares system qubits into respective selected states by obtaining an initial steering circuit. The initial steering circuit is a quantum circuit comprising one or more quantum interactions between at least one detector qubit and the system qubits that is performable by the quantum computer. The quantum computer performs one or more iterations of causing the at least one detector qubit to be initialized into an initial detector state, causing performance of the steering circuit, and causing measurement of the at least one detector qubit. The quantum computer determines that the one or more system qubits are in the respective selected states. The quantum computer may then use the system qubits in performance of a quantum program. The initial steering circuit may be determined using a machine learning algorithm to determine parameters of a parameterized unitary operator enacted thereby. The steering circuit may be updated on each iteration.
