Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed linewidth is used at the second resonator device, then the system simplicity is maintained, but the quantum state transfer efficiency is reduced due to back reflection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the linewidth of the first resonator device time-dependent during the quantum state transfer process. The linewidth is dynamically adjusted from an initial value to a final value according to a specific time profile, allowing the system to adapt to the transfer process and minimize back reflection, thereby improving transfer efficiency without requiring complex modifications to the second resonator device
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the linewidth parameter of the first resonator device during the quantum state transfer. By changing the linewidth from an initial value to a final value according to a predetermined time profile, the system optimizes the coupling between resonators and minimizes back reflection, achieving high-fidelity quantum state transfer
2Reliability
If the linewidth of the first resonator device is kept fixed, then the device complexity is reduced, but the back reflection cannot be controlled and quantum state transfer efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the linewidth of the first resonator device dynamic during the quantum state transfer process. By adjusting the linewidth according to a specific time profile, the system can control back reflection and improve transfer efficiency. This dynamic adjustment is achieved through controlled coupling mechanisms while maintaining operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the linewidth adjustment is based on the transfer protocol requirements. The system monitors the quantum state transfer process and adjusts the linewidth of the first resonator device accordingly to minimize back reflection and maximize transfer efficiency, creating a self-optimizing system
3Length of stationary object
If quantum state transfer is performed over long distances, then the network capability is improved, but back reflection increases and transfer fidelity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the linewidth time-dependent during the transfer process. This dynamic adjustment compensates for the effects of long-distance transmission by optimizing the coupling conditions at different stages of the transfer, thereby maintaining high fidelity even over extended distances between quantum nodes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary anti-action by pre-planning the linewidth adjustment profile before the quantum state transfer begins. The time-dependent linewidth profile is designed in advance to counteract the expected back reflection effects over the given distance, allowing the system to proactively compensate for transmission losses and maintain high transfer fidelity

AI summary
In a general aspect, a quantum state transferring process is performed in a computing network. In some implementations, a method of transferring a quantum state between nodes in a computing network includes receiving a signal at a first node transmitted on a transmission line from a second node. The first node includes a superconducting quantum processing circuit including a tunable-frequency coupler device with a superconducting circuit loop and a first resonator device having a tunable linewidth. The first resonator device is capacitively coupled to the tunable-frequency coupler coupled to the transmission line. The second node includes a second resonator device having a fixed linewidth coupled to the transmission line. The method includes modifying the tunable linewidth of the first resonator device over time while the signal transfers a quantum state to the first resonator device from the second resonator device, by varying a magnetic flux pulse applied to the superconducting circuit loop.
