ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,387,125, issued on Aug. 12, was assigned to Rigetti & Co LLC (Berkeley, Calif.).

"Low-frequency activation of single-qubit quantum logic gates" was invented by Matthew J. Reagor (San Rafael, Calif.), Nicolas Didier (Berkeley, Calif.) and Gregory M. Stiehl (Ithaca, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In a general aspect, a parametrically activated single-qubit quantum logic gate is performed in a quantum computing system. In some cases, a superconducting quantum processing unit includes a tunable qubit device. A single-qubit quantum logic gate is performed on a qubit defined by the tunable qubit device by communicating one or more control...
