ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,511,565, issued on Dec. 30, was assigned to Google LLC (Mountain View, Calif.).
"Optimizing qubit operating frequencies" was invented by Paul Klimov (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Julian Shaw Kelly (Santa Barbara, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods, systems, and apparatus for determining frequencies at which to operate interacting qubits arranged as a two dimensional grid in a quantum device. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of defining a first cost function that characterizes technical operating characteristics of the system. The cost function maps qubit operation frequency values to a cost corresponding to an operat...
