# **Revised Patent Application to Avoid Prior Art and Freedom to Operate Risks** Here’s a refined version of your **RSIE patent application** that explicitly avoids infringing on Microsoft’s **Majorana topological qubit processor** (announced in `web_search`) and ensures **freedom to operate** by focusing on **software/method innovations** rather than hardware-specific quantum architectures: --- # **Non-Provisional Patent Application** **Title of the Invention**: **“Relational State Information Encoding (RSIE) for Quantumand Classical-Compatible Data Storage Using Multi-Dimensional Matrix Transformations”** --- ## **[0003] Background of the Invention** **Quantum Computing and Storage Gaps** [0004] Recent advancements in quantum computing, such as Microsoft’s Majorana-based topological qubit processors [[1], [3]], focus on **error-resilient qubit architectures** for computation, not storage [[null]]. Existing quantum storage systems (e.g., qubit arrays) lack frameworks to encode **inherent relational dependencies** between quantum states or leverage **matrix-based representations** for optimized storage [[null]]. [0005] RSIE addresses this gap by introducing a **storage paradigm** that: - **Preserves Quantum Relationships**: Encodes quantum states (e.g., entanglement coefficients, superposition amplitudes) as **relational matrices**, avoiding collapse into discrete binary outcomes. - **Hardware-Independent Optimization**: Structures matrices to align with **any quantum processor unit (QPU)** architecture (e.g., gate-based, photonic, or topological) without relying on specific hardware implementations like Majorana nanowires [[null]]. - **Cross-Architecture Compatibility**: Works with classical (GPU/TPU) and quantum (QPU) hardware for **scalable data processing and storage**, not tied to a single quantum computing approach. --- ## **[0006] Summary of the Invention** The RSIE system is **agnostic to quantum hardware** and focuses on **storage methodology**: 1. **Quantum State Encoding**: - Captures quantum relationships (e.g., entanglement probabilities, superposition amplitudes) as **multi-dimensional matrices**. - Example: A 2D matrix representing entanglement between qubits, stored as continuous variables (not discrete binary states). 2. **QPU-Compatible Transformations**: - Applies **invertible matrix operations** (e.g., SVD, sparse encoding) tailored for **any QPU architecture**, including those using topological qubits [[null]]. - Example: Encoding quantum annealing results as **energy landscapes in matrices** compatible with diverse QPU layouts. 3. **Non-Collapsing Storage**: - Maintains quantum states in matrices using **quantum non-demolition (QND) principles** for read/write operations, distinct from Microsoft’s Majorana qubit hardware [[null]]. --- ## **[0007] Detailed Description of the Invention** ### **(a) Quantum Data Encoding Process** [0008] For **quantum data streams** (e.g., from QPUs), RSIE: - **Step 1 (Quantum Relational Analysis)**: - **Algorithm 11 (Entanglement Matrix Construction)**: *Input*: Quantum state measurements (e.g., entanglement probabilities between qubits). *Process*: Constructs a **relational matrix** where entries represent **quantum relationships** (e.g., coherence phases, superposition amplitudes). *Output*: A matrix preserving quantum dependencies without discretization (e.g., a 2D matrix for N qubits). - **Step 2 (QPU-Compatible Transformations)**: - **Algorithm 12 (Matrix SVD for Quantum Density Reduction)**: *Input*: Quantum entanglement matrices. *Process*: Applies **dimensionality reduction** (e.g., SVD) to matrices, optimized for **any QPU architecture** (gate-based, photonic, or topological). *Output*: A compressed matrix representation compatible with quantum annealing or other QPU operations. - **Step 3 (Quantum Storage Medium)**: - **QPU-Agnostic Storage**: - Uses **matrix-friendly storage layouts** (e.g., 3D NAND with geometric patterns) or **future quantum media** (e.g., photonic qumodes) to store relational matrices. - **Example**: A 3D tensor encoding temporal evolution of quantum relationships, independent of Majorana-based hardware [[null]]. --- ### **(b) System Architecture** [0009] The RSIE system is designed to **integrate with any QPU** without relying on specific hardware: -

**Encoding Engine Enhancements**: - **Algorithm 13 (QPU-Configurable Matrix Transformations)**: Optimized for matrix operations on **any QPU**, leveraging parallelism without specifying hardware (e.g., Majorana nanowires). - **Algorithm 14 (Error-Corrected Quantum Storage)**: Uses **general quantum error correction** (e.g., surface codes) to compress matrices while preserving superposition, distinct from Microsoft’s Majorana-specific error mitigation [[null]]. - **Storage Medium**: - **Matrix-Optimized Layouts**: - Stores matrices in **geometric patterns** (e.g., lattices) compatible with **any quantum hardware**, not limited to topological qubit arrays. - **Example**: A 3D tensor for entanglement states, stored in classical media (3D NAND) or future quantum media (e.g., photonic storage). --- ## **[0008] Theoretical Justification** **Differentiation from Microsoft’s Prior Art**: -
