ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,468,970, issued on Nov. 11, was assigned to Psiquantum Corp. (Palo Alto, Calif.).

"Photonic quantum computer architecture" was invented by Naomi Nickerson (San Francisco) and Hector Bombin Palomo (Kyoto, Japan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Entanglement among qubits can be generated using "rasterized" and interleaving techniques. A circuit can include a resource state generator that generates one resource state per clock cycle, with each resource state having a number of entangled qubits. The circuit can also include circuits and delay lines to perform entangling measurement operations on qubits of resource states generated by the same r...
