ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,493,811, issued on Dec. 9, was assigned to Quantum Computing Inc. (Leesburg, Va.).
"Variational analog quantum oracle learning" was invented by Nick Chancellor (Leesburg, Va.) and Raouf Dridi (Leesburg, Va.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method includes configuring a quantum annealer based on a parameter of a Hamiltonian and performing annealing using the configured quantum annealer to obtain output samples, wherein each sample of the output samples indicates state values of elements of the quantum annealer for a set of indices of the output samples. The method also includes providing, to an oracle, the output samples to obtain a set of...
