US Patent Issued to Amazon Technologies on Feb. 3 for "Randomized quantum algorithm for statistical phase estimation" (British, American Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,541,566, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to Amazon Technologies Inc (Seattle).

"Randomized quantum algorithm for statistical phase estimation" was invented by Earl Terence Campbell (Sheffield, Great Britain), Mario Andrea Berta (Los Angeles) and Kianna Wan (Redwood City, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system and method for estimating values of an operator, such as energy levels of a Hamiltonian, is disclosed. The estimation is performed in a way such that the runtime of performing the estimation is independent of a complexity of the operator, e.g., a number of terms in the Hamiltonian. Also, errors can be statistically suppressed ...
