ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 10 -- United States Patent no. 12,412,115, issued on Sept. 9, was assigned to COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVES (Paris).

"Method for decoding colour codes over a quantum erasure channel" was invented by Sangjun Lee (Cedex 09, France) and Valentin Savin (Grenoble, France).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for correcting a color code over a quantum erasure channel. First, a forest spanning the erased qubits over the lattice defining the color code is determined and syndrome qubits are calculated for each face of the tiling. If none of the faces of the tiling is touched by more than one tree, the erased qubits of each tree are sequentially...
