Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If kernel functions are used in quantum support vector machine, then classification accuracy is improved, but overfitting occurs and decision boundary control becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the kernel function approach into a parameterized quantum circuit approach where the decision boundary is controlled by explicit circuit parameters (rotation angles, evolution times) rather than implicit kernel functions. This allows direct optimization of parameters to achieve both high accuracy and good generalization by minimizing an objective function that balances classification performance and model complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical kernel computation system with a quantum circuit system that uses unitary transformations and parameterized gates. This substitution enables more flexible and controllable decision boundary formation through quantum interference and entanglement effects, while the parameters can be systematically optimized to prevent overfitting.
2Measurement precision
If kernel functions are used in quantum support vector machine, then model performance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex kernel function computation into multiple simpler quantum circuit operations including feature map preparation, parameterized unitary transformations, and measurement. This segmentation allows each component to be implemented using basic quantum gates and operations, reducing the overall device complexity while maintaining the ability to achieve high model accuracy through coordinated parameter optimization.
3Manufacturing precision
If quantum circuits transform qubit states with rotation angles, then data separation is maximized, but computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses dynamic parameter optimization where rotation angles and circuit parameters are adjusted iteratively based on the objective function evaluation. This dynamic approach allows the system to achieve maximal data separation with optimized computational resources by avoiding fixed over-engineered circuits and instead adapting the circuit parameters to the specific characteristics of the input data.

AI summary
A processor can control quantum hardware to transform qubit states associated with a plurality of pairs of data points in a training dataset using a circuit parameter representing a rotation angle. Inner products of transformed qubit states associated with the plurality of pairs of data points can be computed. The processor can minimize an objective function based on the inner products, where the minimizing finds a target circuit parameter representing a target rotation angle that minimizes the objective function. A processor can build a kernel matrix based on the inner products computed for a sample dataset and the target circuit parameter passed to the quantum hardware. A classification algorithm can use the kernel matrix to classify the sample dataset.
