ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,505,373, issued on Dec. 23, was assigned to International Business Machines Corp. (Armonk, N.Y.).

"Calibration of two qubit gates involved in parallel operations" was invented by Youngseok Kim (Upper Saddle River, N.J.), Xuan Wei (White Plains, N.Y.), Isaac Lauer (Chappaqua, N.Y.) and Abhinav Kandala (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method, system and computer program product for calibrating a quantum operation. Layers of two qubit gates that operate in parallel are defined. A gate length for each two qubit gate in a layer of the defined layers is calibrated to correspond to the same gate length, such as the gate ...
