ACCELERATED PATTERN MATCHING METHOD ON A QUANTUM COMPUTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013078 titled 'ACCELERATED PATTERN MATCHING METHOD ON A QUANTUM COMPUTING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method that uses a quantum computing system to determine a pattern in a sequence of bits. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The first register of a quantum processor is set in a superposition of multiple string index states.
  • A bit string is encoded in the second register of the quantum processor.
  • A bit pattern is encoded in the third register of the quantum processor.
  • The qubits of the second register are circularly shifted based on the state of the first register.
  • The amplitude of a state combined with the first register is amplified if the circularly shifted qubits of the second register match the qubits of the third register.
  • The amplitude of the first register is measured, and the string index state associated with the amplified state is determined.
  • The string index associated with the first register in the measured state is outputted using a classical computer.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Pattern recognition: This method can be used to identify patterns in large sets of data, such as analyzing DNA sequences or detecting anomalies in financial transactions.
  • Cryptography: Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize cryptography, and this method could be used to enhance encryption algorithms and secure communication systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient pattern matching: Traditional computing methods may struggle with complex pattern matching tasks, but quantum computing can potentially provide faster and more efficient solutions.
  • Enhanced data analysis: By utilizing the power of quantum computing, this method can help uncover hidden patterns and correlations in large datasets.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Speed and efficiency: Quantum computing has the potential to perform complex computations much faster than classical computers, enabling quicker analysis of patterns in large datasets.
  • Improved security: Quantum cryptography can provide stronger encryption algorithms, enhancing the security of sensitive information and communication channels.
