US Patent Issued to Rigetti on Dec. 30 for "Quantum error-correction in microwave integrated quantum circuits" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,510,586, issued on Dec. 30, was assigned to Rigetti & Co LLC (Berkeley, Calif.).

"Quantum error-correction in microwave integrated quantum circuits" was invented by William J. Zeng (Berkeley, Calif.), Eyob A. Sete (Walnut Creek, Calif.) and Chad Tyler Rigetti (Walnut Creek, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In some implementations, a quantum error-correction technique includes applying a first set of two-qubit gates to qubits in a lattice cell, and applying a second, different set of two-qubit gates to the qubits in the lattice cell. The qubits in the lattice cell include data qubits and ancilla qubits, and the ancilla qubits reside ...
