"Real time qubit allocation for error correction" was invented by Leigh Griffin (Waterford, Ireland) and Stephen Coady (Waterford, Ireland).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A first set of qubits is allocated to an error correcting process, the error correcting process is configured to utilize the first set of qubits to correct errors identified in a second set of qubits being used by a quantum process. Error correcting information is received from the error correcting process. A quantity of qubits in the first set of qubits is altered based on the error correcting i...
