1Productivity
If classical computing techniques are used for topological data analysis, then large datasets can be processed with available processing power, but computational complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces classical computing mechanisms with quantum computing mechanisms to perform topological data analysis. Specifically, it uses quantum circuits to simulate boundary operators and compute Betti numbers, achieving exponential speedup over classical algorithms while maintaining the ability to process large datasets.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of computation by transitioning from classical bits to quantum bits (qubits), enabling parallel computation through quantum superposition and entanglement. This parameter change allows the system to achieve linear-depth complexity with exponential speedup for computing topological features.
2Measurement precision
If quantum phase estimation is used to estimate Betti numbers, then accurate topological features can be obtained, but fault tolerance requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) component from the quantum topological data analysis algorithm. By eliminating QPE, the system no longer requires fault-tolerant quantum computing, making the algorithm suitable for near-term noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices while still achieving exponential speedup for Betti number estimation.
3Measurement precision
If deep quantum circuits are implemented for topological data analysis, then accurate results can be achieved, but circuit depth requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the quantum circuit implementation into shallow, modular components that can be executed on NISQ devices. By dividing the computation into manageable segments with linear depth, the system maintains accuracy in topological feature extraction while avoiding the need for deep circuits that would require fault-tolerant quantum computing.

AI summary
A quantum computer-implemented system, method, and computer program product for quantum topological domain analysis (QTDA). The QTDA method achieves an improved exponential speedup and depth complexity of O(n log(1/(δ∈))) where n is the number of data points, ∈ is the error tolerance, δ is the smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the restricted Laplacian, and achieves quantum advantage on general classical data. The QTDA system and method efficiently realizes a combinatorial Laplacian as a sum of Pauli operators; performs a quantum rejection sampling and projection approach to build the relevant simplicial complex repeatedly and restrict the superposition to the simplices of a desired order in the complex; and estimates Betti numbers using a stochastic trace/rank estimation method that does not require Quantum Phase Estimation. The quantum circuit and QTDA method exhibits computational time and depth complexities for Betti number estimation up to an error tolerance ∈.
