Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As quantum computing becomes more prevalent, there is a need for a method to compare the performance characteristics of different versions of quantum services, which existing technologies have not effectively addressed.
Innovation Solution
A quantum testing service (QTS) that retrieves multiple quantum service definitions for different versions of a quantum service, instantiates multiple instances for parallel execution, and performs testing to generate performance metrics for comparison.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple quantum service instances are instantiated for parallel execution to enable comparative testing, then the ability to compare performance characteristics of different quantum service versions is improved, but the system complexity and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the quantum service testing process into distinct components: service definition retrieval, instance instantiation, parallel execution, and performance metric collection. Each component is handled as a separate operational step, allowing the complex testing process to be managed through modular segmentation of functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a testing service as an intermediary component that mediates between the quantum service definitions and the execution environment. This testing service manages the instantiation of multiple instances, coordinates parallel execution, and aggregates performance metrics, thereby reducing the complexity burden on the overall system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple instances of quantum service are instantiated for parallel execution, then comparative testing capability is improved, but the resource consumption and execution overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by allowing selective instantiation of quantum service instances based on testing requirements. The system can choose to instantiate only the necessary number of instances for comparative testing rather than all possible versions, thereby reducing resource consumption while maintaining the ability to perform comprehensive comparisons when needed.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive testing of each quantum service instance is performed, then the accuracy of performance evaluation is improved, but the testing time and processing duration increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs periodic action by executing multiple quantum service instances in parallel rather than sequentially. Each instance is tested simultaneously at the same time period, allowing comprehensive performance evaluation of all instances without the cumulative time delay that would result from sequential testing, thereby maintaining measurement precision while reducing total testing duration.
Data Source
AI summary
Performing comparative testing of quantum services is disclosed. In one example, a processor device of a quantum computing system (e.g., by executing a quantum testing service (QTS)) receives a first request for testing from a requestor, wherein the first request comprises an identifier of a quantum service. The quantum computing device retrieves a plurality of quantum service definitions corresponding to a plurality of different versions of the quantum service, based on the first request. A plurality of instances of the quantum service are then instantiated for parallel execution by the quantum computing device, wherein each instance is defined by a quantum service definition of the plurality of quantum service definitions. The quantum computing device next performs testing of each instance of the plurality of instances, based on the first request, and generates a testing result report based on the testing.
