Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If simple physical segmentation is used to virtualize quantum hardware resources, then the virtualization process is simple, but the resource utilization rate is low and operation accuracy cannot be guaranteed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the quantum hardware resource into multiple qubit cell subnetworks based on topology requirements, where each subnetwork can independently handle specific quantum computing tasks. This segmentation allows for more precise resource allocation compared to simple physical segmentation, improving both resource utilization and operation accuracy by matching subnetworks to task requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces fidelity as a key parameter for evaluating and selecting qubit cell subnetworks. By calculating and comparing the fidelity of different subnetwork configurations, the system can dynamically select the most appropriate subnetwork for each quantum computing task, thereby ensuring high operation accuracy while improving resource utilization through flexible parameter-based selection.
2Ease of manufacture
If simple physical segmentation is used to virtualize quantum hardware resources, then the virtualization process is simple, but the resource utilization rate is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal qubit cell subnetwork selection mechanism that can handle multiple different quantum computing tasks. By evaluating subnetworks based on topology matching and fidelity metrics, the same set of physical qubit cells can be dynamically allocated to different tasks with varying requirements, thereby improving resource utilization rate while maintaining a relatively simple virtualization framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism through fidelity calculation and comparison. The system evaluates the performance characteristics of different qubit cell subnetworks and uses this feedback information to make informed allocation decisions. This feedback-driven approach enables optimized resource utilization without requiring complex virtualization processes, as the selection is guided by quantitative fidelity metrics.
3Adaptability or versatility
If arbitrary virtualization of quantum hardware resources is attempted, then resource flexibility is improved, but the qubit cell network structure becomes insufficient to support required quantum operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of the quantum computing task requirements, including determining the necessary qubit cell topology and fidelity thresholds before allocating resources. By pre-evaluating task requirements and comparing them with available qubit cell subnetworks, the system ensures that the network structure is sufficient to support the required quantum operations while maintaining flexibility in resource allocation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses fidelity as a dynamic parameter to bridge the gap between resource flexibility and operation support capability. By setting and evaluating fidelity parameters for different subnetwork configurations, the system can flexibly allocate quantum hardware resources while ensuring that the selected subnetworks meet the minimum requirements for supporting the required quantum operations, thus maintaining both adaptability and reliability.
