1Duration of action of stationary object
If quantum error correction using surface code architecture is implemented, then quantum information can be stored and manipulated beyond coherence time, but calculation time and computational resources increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The quantum circuit is segmented into multiple layers of Pauli rotation gates, and the vertex set is partitioned into pre-selected subsets. This segmentation allows the circuit to be executed in parallel stages, reducing the overall calculation time while maintaining error correction capabilities through the surface code architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The method performs preliminary selection of vertex subsets and construction of associated trees before circuit execution. By pre-identifying non-intersecting subsets and their corresponding trees, the optimization structure is established in advance, enabling faster circuit implementation without compromising the coherence time extension provided by error correction.
2Reliability
If more qubits are manipulated for error correction, then error correction capability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The set of vertices is divided into pre-selected subsets, each associated with a separate tree structure. This segmentation organizes the complex qubit interactions into manageable, non-intersecting groups, reducing circuit complexity while maintaining comprehensive error correction coverage across all qubits.
Solution Approach 2:
The problem is transformed from selecting individual vertices to selecting subsets of vertices with associated tree structures. This dimensional change in the selection space allows for more efficient organization of qubit operations, reducing the apparent complexity of managing large numbers of qubits for error correction.
3Ease of manufacture
If sequential execution of Pauli rotation gates is used, then implementation is straightforward, but calculation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sequence of Pauli rotation gates is segmented into parallel executable layers based on the pre-selected vertex subsets. Each layer can be executed simultaneously, transforming the sequential implementation into a parallel architecture that maintains simplicity while dramatically improving processing speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The method dynamically determines the optimal parallel execution structure by analyzing vertex relationships and constructing trees. This dynamic approach adapts the circuit implementation to maximize parallelism while maintaining the straightforward execution model, improving productivity without sacrificing implementation simplicity.
