US Patent Issued to Psiquantum on May 13 for "Quantum computer using switchable couplings between logical qubits" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,299,422, issued on May 13, was assigned to Psiquantum Corp. (Palo Alto, Calif.).

"Quantum computer using switchable couplings between logical qubits" was invented by Daniel Litinski (Palo Alto, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A fault-tolerant quantum computer using topological codes such as surface codes can have an architecture that reduces the amount of idle volume generated. The architecture can include qubit modules that generate surface code patches for different qubits and a network of interconnections between different qubit modules. The interconnections can include "port" connections that selectably enable coupling of bound...
