Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large-scale quantum computing is hindered by parasitic interactions between qubits, particularly those that are diagonally opposed, leading to unintended transitions and errors in quantum computations.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a two-dimensional qubit grid where qubits operate at specific frequency regions, with diagonal qubits assigned different frequencies to minimize parasitic couplings, using a qubit controller to manage these frequencies and apply excitation pulses to reduce susceptibility to environmental noise.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If qubits are arranged in a two-dimensional grid with nearest neighbor interactions, then the quantum architecture becomes scalable and controllable, but parasitic interactions between diagonal qubits cause unintended transitions and errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different frequency regions to qubits based on their spatial position and role in the quantum circuit. Specifically, corner qubits are assigned to a first frequency region, edge qubits to a second frequency region, and interior qubits to a third frequency region. This localized frequency assignment reduces parasitic interactions between diagonal qubits while maintaining the scalability and controllability of the two-dimensional quantum architecture.
2Device complexity
If all qubits operate at the same frequency to simplify control, then device complexity is reduced, but parasitic couplings between diagonal qubits increase causing computation errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements parameter changes by dividing the qubit frequency spectrum into multiple distinct frequency regions. Qubits are assigned to different frequency regions based on their position and function: corner qubits use a first frequency region, edge qubits use a second frequency region, and interior qubits use a third frequency region. This frequency parameter differentiation reduces parasitic couplings between diagonal qubits while maintaining manageable control complexity through systematic frequency assignment rules.
3Productivity
If qubit density is increased to improve processing power, then productivity is enhanced, but parasitic interactions between diagonal qubits become more significant
Solution Approach 1:
The patent addresses the scaling challenge by applying local quality through position-dependent frequency assignment. As qubit density increases to improve processing power, corner qubits are assigned to a first frequency region, edge qubits to a second frequency region, and interior qubits to a third frequency region. This localized frequency differentiation ensures that even at high densities, parasitic interactions between diagonal qubits are minimized, allowing the system to scale while maintaining computation accuracy.
