Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing qubit technologies are used, then quantum computing operations can be performed, but the qubits require cryogenic cooling and are difficult to scale
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical cryogenic cooling system with an optical manipulation system. Dopant molecules in organic host materials are manipulated using optical techniques (laser excitation, optical pumping) instead of requiring complex cryogenic infrastructure, thereby substituting a mechanical thermal management system with an optical control system that enables scalability.
2Productivity
If the number of qubits is increased, then computational power is improved, but coherence and relaxation times are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by isolating each dopant molecule qubit within its own organic host material environment. This local isolation protects individual qubits from decoherence caused by interactions with neighboring qubits, allowing each qubit to maintain its coherence properties independently even as the overall system scales to hundreds or thousands of qubits.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite materials consisting of dopant molecules embedded in organic host materials. This composite structure provides a protective environment for the qubits, where the host material acts as a matrix that isolates and protects the dopant molecules, maintaining coherence times even as system size increases.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dopant molecules in organic host materials are used as qubits, then scalability is improved and coherence lifetimes are extended, but independent manipulation becomes more challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs local quality by giving each dopant molecule qubit a unique local environment within the organic host material. This creates distinct spectral signatures and energy levels for each qubit, allowing individual optical addressing and independent manipulation through wavelength-selective excitation, thereby solving the control challenge while maintaining scalability.

AI summary
The present disclosure describes non-classical (e.g., quantum) computing systems and methods that utilize dopant molecules contained in host materials as qubits. The dopant molecules generally comprise ground-state triplet (GST) molecules, such as carbenes or nitrenes. The host materials generally comprise organic molecules. Precursors to the dopant molecules can be embedded in the host materials and then subjected to ultraviolet (UV) or visible light to form dilute molecular crystals comprising the dopant molecules embedded in the host materials. The triplet sub-levels of the dopant molecules may be manipulated using electromagnetic (EM) radiation such as optical, radiofrequency (RF), and/or microwave (MW) radiation to conduct non-classical computing operations.
