US Patent Issued to Psiquantum on July 8 for "Method and system for multirail encoding of quantum bits" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,353,954, issued on July 8, was assigned to Psiquantum Corp. (Palo Alto, Calif.).

"Method and system for multirail encoding of quantum bits" was invented by Terence Rudolph (San Francisco).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A multirail-encoded qubit can be implemented using a quantum system having a state space that includes a number M of distinct modes, where M is an integer greater than 2. The M modes are logically partitioned into two disjoint subsets (or "bands"), with each mode assigned to exactly one of the bands. The multirail encoding is defined such that a state in which any one of the modes in the first band is occupied and all modes ...
