Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a high-precision rotation technique using virtual Z gates is used to prepare resource states, then the rotation accuracy is improved, but control errors still occur leading to state deviation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies random inverse rotations to physical qubits during resource state preparation. Instead of always applying rotations in the forward direction, the system randomly selects whether to apply the rotation or its inverse to each physical qubit. This inversion strategy causes control errors to cancel out statistically, improving the overall accuracy of resource state generation despite the presence of control errors in individual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the rotation direction parameter randomly for each physical qubit during resource state preparation. By varying the rotation direction (forward or inverse) as a controllable parameter rather than fixing it, the system exploits statistical cancellation of control errors. This parameter variation approach transforms deterministic error accumulation into stochastic error cancellation, improving state preparation accuracy.
2Ease of operation
If control errors occur in rotation gate operations during resource state generation, then the resource state accuracy deteriorates, but the gate teleportation circuit still functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses random inverse rotations on physical qubits to counteract control errors. By occasionally applying inverse rotations, the system creates statistical cancellation of systematic control errors, thereby improving resource state accuracy while maintaining gate teleportation functionality. This approach allows the circuit to function with higher precision despite inherent control errors.
3Reliability
If random rotation directions are applied to physical qubits, then control error impact is mitigated, but additional correction operations are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-correcting mechanism where the random inverse rotations inherently cancel control errors through statistical averaging. The system uses the quantum operations themselves to correct errors rather than requiring external correction mechanisms. The measurement outcomes provide feedback that automatically indicates when correction is needed, allowing the system to self-regulate and maintain accuracy without complex external intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback based on measurement outcomes to determine whether correction operations are needed. The measurement results provide information about the actual rotation applied, allowing the classical control system to decide whether to apply corrective operations. This feedback mechanism enables error mitigation while keeping correction complexity manageable by only acting when necessary.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus determines a physical rotation angle around a predetermined axis to be applied to a plurality of first physical qubits, based on a logical rotation angle by which a state of a logical qubit is to be rotated around the predetermined axis. The information processing apparatus randomly determines a rotation direction for each of the plurality of first physical qubits to be either a forward direction or a reverse direction. The information processing apparatus rotates each of the plurality of first physical qubits around the predetermined axis by the physical rotation angle in the determined rotation direction. Then, in the case where the number of first physical qubits rotated in the reverse direction is an odd number, the information processing apparatus performs a logical gate operation for correcting a state deviation caused by rotating in the reverse direction on the logical qubit.
