Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If coupling elements are placed in close proximity to enable quantum operations, then quantum computing operations can be performed, but crosstalk between coupling elements occurs causing unwanted interference and performance degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the frequency spectrum into distinct bands, assigning different frequency ranges to different coupling elements and their associated qubits. This frequency segmentation allows multiple coupling elements to operate simultaneously without interfering with each other, resolving the crosstalk problem while maintaining close physical proximity for quantum operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the frequency parameter of each coupling element and its associated qubit to distinct values. By tuning the operating frequencies of coupling elements and qubits to different values, the system enables simultaneous operation of multiple coupling elements without mutual interference, thus eliminating crosstalk while maintaining high productivity.
2Quantity of substance
If the number of components is scaled to larger chips, then large-scale quantum computing is enabled, but crosstalk becomes harder to control
Solution Approach 1:
The frequency spectrum is segmented into multiple bands, with each coupling element assigned a unique frequency or frequency range. This segmentation strategy allows the system to scale to larger chips with more components without increasing crosstalk control difficulty, as each element operates in its own designated frequency segment.
Solution Approach 2:
As the number of components increases, the system changes the frequency parameters of coupling elements and qubits to maintain distinct separation. This parameter adjustment approach enables scalable quantum computing by systematically assigning different frequencies to additional components, keeping crosstalk under control regardless of system size.
3Device complexity
If coupling elements operate at the same frequency, then system simplicity is maintained, but unwanted interference and performance degradation occur
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the frequency parameter of coupling elements from identical to distinct values. By operating each coupling element at a different frequency, the system eliminates unwanted interference and performance degradation while maintaining relatively simple device architecture, thus improving reliability without significantly increasing complexity.
