1Power

If quantum algorithms with complex operations are compiled onto two-dimensional quantum chips, then the parallel computing capability is enhanced, but crossed connecting lines and excessive connectivity between qubits occur, leading to high algorithm depth

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparallel computing capabilityVSAvoidalgorithm depth
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the quantum topology graph by introducing intermediate nodes to break crossed connecting lines into separate paths. Each intermediate node divides the connection into multiple segments that can be routed without crossing, transforming the complex high-depth algorithm into a series of simpler, non-crossing operations that can execute in parallel on the two-dimensional quantum chip

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent resolves crossed connecting lines by utilizing the temporal dimension through intermediate nodes. Instead of trying to route connections spatially without crossing on the two-dimensional chip, the system introduces intermediate time steps where qubits swap positions, effectively moving connections from the spatial plane to the time dimension to eliminate crossings and reduce algorithm depth

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If crossed connecting lines are present in the quantum topology graph, then more direct qubit logic gates can be implemented, but the coupling structures cannot be crossed in the two-dimensional quantum chip structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequbit logic gate implementationVSAvoidcoupling structure implementation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces intermediate nodes as mediator elements between qubits that need to perform logic gates. These intermediate nodes act as temporary placeholders that enable qubits to interact indirectly through a sequence of operations, allowing the system to implement qubit logic gates without requiring direct crossed physical connections on the quantum chip

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-computing and optimizing the quantum topology graph before execution on the quantum chip. The system identifies and resolves crossed connecting lines in advance by introducing intermediate nodes and re-routing connections, so that when the algorithm executes on the two-dimensional chip, the coupling structures can be implemented without crossings

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If one qubit couples with too many neighboring qubits, then more operations can be performed, but the regulation of the qubit and quantum computation accuracy are significantly reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of operationsVSAvoidquantum computation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the connectivity of highly connected qubits by introducing intermediate nodes that distribute the connections. Instead of one qubit directly coupling with many neighboring qubits, the system introduces intermediate qubits that share the connections, reducing the direct connectivity degree of each qubit while maintaining the overall operational capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality optimization by strategically placing intermediate nodes at specific locations in the quantum topology graph where connectivity is excessive. This localized intervention reduces the coupling degree of specific problematic qubits without affecting the overall structure, thereby maintaining quantum computation accuracy while preserving operational productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
