US Patent Issued to Boise State University on Feb. 10 for "Excitonic quantum computing via aggregate-aggregate coupling" (Idaho Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,545,700, issued on Feb. 10, was assigned to Boise State University (Boise, Idaho).

"Excitonic quantum computing via aggregate-aggregate coupling" was invented by William B. Knowlton (Boise, Idaho).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Using nucleotide architectures to very closely and precisely place chromophores on a nucleic acid template to form dye aggregates that produce quantum coherent excitons, biexcitons, and triexcitons upon excitement to create excitonic quantum wires, switching, and gates that would then form the basis of quantum computation. Creating the various excitons and controlling the timing of the excitons would be performed u...
