US Patent Issued to D-WAVE SYSTEMS on Nov. 18 for "Systems and methods for increasing energy-scale by minimizing qubit inductance" (Canadian Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,475,399, issued on Nov. 18, was assigned to D-WAVE SYSTEMS INC. (Burnaby, Canada).

"Systems and methods for increasing energy-scale by minimizing qubit inductance" was invented by Emile M. Hoskinson (Vancouver, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In a superconducting quantum processor, inductance is a characteristic of superconducting flux qubits and used to achieve coupling between qubits. In general, higher qubit energy scale results in better quantum processor performance. Energy scale of qubits can be increased by reducing inductance. For each Ising spin problem, qubit energy scale can be increased by determining the unused inducta...
