Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for determining which qubits in a qubit lattice should be tuned by Stark tones to avoid frequency collisions fail to consider TLS frequency collisions, leading to suboptimal results and increased decoherence due to the neglect of two-level-system (TLS) frequency regions.
Innovation Solution
A computerized tool that identifies Stark tone frequencies and amplitudes by considering both direct frequency collisions and TLS frequency regions, using a receiver, scanning, optimization, and execution components to apply optimized Stark tones to the qubit lattice, thereby eliminating all types of frequency collisions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual techniques are used to determine Stark tone frequencies, then the process is simple to implement, but frequency collisions are not effectively eliminated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual determination techniques with an automated computerized optimization system that uses algorithms to calculate Stark tone frequencies. This substitution of mechanical/manual processes with automated computational systems resolves the contradiction by providing both ease of operation (automated calculation) and reliability (comprehensive collision avoidance through optimization algorithms).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the approach from fixed manual frequency selection to dynamic optimization-based frequency determination. By using optimization algorithms that consider TLS frequency regions and qubit coupling constraints, the system automatically adjusts Stark tone frequencies to eliminate collisions while maintaining operational simplicity through automated computation.
2Reliability
If existing Stark tone tuning techniques are used, then basic frequency collisions are addressed, but TLS frequency collisions are neglected causing decoherence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the frequency collision problem into distinct categories: basic qubit-qubit frequency collisions and TLS frequency collisions. By separately identifying and addressing each type of collision through the optimization process, the system eliminates both basic collisions and TLS-induced decoherence, resolving the contradiction between addressing basic collisions and preventing TLS collisions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary identification of TLS frequency regions before determining Stark tone frequencies. By pre-characterizing the TLS spectrum and incorporating these regions into the optimization constraints, the system proactively prevents TLS frequency collisions before they cause decoherence, while still maintaining effective basic collision avoidance.
3Reliability
If a computerized optimization tool is used to identify Stark tone frequencies, then all frequency collisions are eliminated, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service optimization system where the computerized tool automatically characterizes the qubit lattice, identifies TLS regions, and calculates optimal Stark tone frequencies without requiring manual intervention. This automation reduces the operational complexity burden on users while maintaining comprehensive collision elimination through rigorous optimization algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal optimization platform that handles multiple functions: characterizing qubit frequencies, identifying TLS regions, calculating Stark tone parameters, and validating collision-free operation. By consolidating these functions into a single multi-functional system, the patent reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate tools for each function, while achieving comprehensive frequency collision elimination.

determining which qubits in the qubit lattice should be tuned by which Stark tones so as to avoid frequency collisions can be an extremely difficult optimization problem which requires consideration of voluminous, conflicting, and overlapping variables.
