If quantum subset summing is used for automated decision-making, then processing speed and efficiency are improved, but device complexity increases

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a quantum computing system as an intermediary between the reward matrix input and the decision output. The quantum processor acts as a mediator that transforms classical binary data into quantum states, performs subset summing operations through quantum interference and measurement, and converts results back to classical format. This intermediary quantum system enables exponential speedup in processing strategic scenarios while managing complexity through specialized quantum hardware rather than general-purpose classical systems.

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-converting the reward matrix into quantum-friendly formats and preparing quantum states before the actual subset summing operation. The system performs initial data validation, quantum state preparation, and circuit configuration in advance, so that when the quantum processing begins, the data is already optimized for quantum computation. This reduces the perceived conversion time during the critical decision-making phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs skipping by parallelizing the quantum subset summing operation to evaluate multiple strategic scenarios simultaneously through quantum superposition. Instead of processing scenarios sequentially, the quantum system rushes through the evaluation of numerous possible outcomes in parallel, with the measurement step collapsing the superposition to reveal the optimal decision. This dramatically reduces the effective processing time despite the complexity of data conversion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)
