ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,488,269, issued on Dec. 2, was assigned to Microsoft Technology Licensing LLC (Redmond, Wash.).

"Quantum-capacitance simulation using gaussian-subspace aggregation" was invented by Samuel Boutin (Goleta, Calif.) and Roman Bela Bauer (Santa Barbara, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for simulating a quantum-capacitance response of a material configuration comprises (a) constructing a non-interacting Hamiltonian for the material configuration based on input data; (b) computing a natural-orbitals basis for each of a plurality of parts of the material configuration under the non-interacting Hamiltonian; (c) projecting the non-int...
