Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If quantum computing tasks are processed sequentially using classical computing devices, then the quantum computing device can complete tasks accurately, but the quantum computing device experiences idle periods and has reduced utilization rate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides quantum computing tasks into multiple processing stages (pulse generation stage, quantum computing execution stage, result processing stage). This segmentation allows different tasks to be processed in parallel at different stages, eliminating idle periods and improving device utilization while maintaining task completion accuracy through structured processing flow
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs pulse compilation and task preparation in advance during the pulse generation stage before the quantum computing device needs to execute. This preliminary action ensures that when the quantum computing device is ready, the tasks are already prepared and can be executed immediately, eliminating waiting time and improving utilization rate
2Productivity
If quantum computing tasks are processed in parallel pipeline mode, then the utilization rate of quantum computing device is improved, but the complexity of task scheduling and management increases
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing tasks into discrete processing stages, the patent creates clear boundaries and transition points that simplify scheduling logic. Each stage has defined inputs and outputs, making it easier to manage parallel task flow compared to handling undivided tasks
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a classical computing device as an intermediary that manages pulse generation and task preparation. This intermediary handles the complexity of coordinating multiple quantum tasks, allowing the quantum computing device itself to focus on execution and simplifying its role in the overall system
3Productivity
If multiple quantum computing tasks are processed simultaneously, then the processing efficiency is improved, but the waiting time for task completion increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic task submission and processing through the pipeline structure, where tasks are continuously prepared, submitted, and executed in a rhythmic flow. This periodic action maintains steady throughput and minimizes idle waiting time by ensuring the quantum computing device always has tasks to process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuous useful action by overlapping task preparation, submission, and execution phases. While one task is being executed, another is being prepared, and a third is waiting in queue, eliminating idle time and maximizing the quantum computing device's productive engagement
