US Patent Issued to Rigetti on Sept. 9 for "Accelerating hybrid quantum/classical algorithms" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 10 -- United States Patent no. 12,411,687, issued on Sept. 9, was assigned to Rigetti & Co LLC (Berkeley, Calif.).

"Accelerating hybrid quantum/classical algorithms" was invented by Nicholas C. Rubin (Berkeley, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In a general aspect, hybrid quantum/classical algorithms are executed in a computing system. A first set of values representing a measurement of a reduced density matrix (RDM) is obtained. The first set of values is based on sampling quantum states generated by a quantum processor. A classical processor generates a second, different set of values to represent the measurement of the RDM. The second set of values is constructed...
