US Patent Issued to Zapata Computing on June 24 for "Hybrid quantum-classical computer for solving linear systems" (Massachusetts Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,340,277, issued on June 24, was assigned to Zapata Computing Inc. (Boston).

"Hybrid quantum-classical computer for solving linear systems" was invented by Yudong Cao (Cambridge, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A hybrid quantum-classical (HQC) computer system, which includes a classical computer and a quantum computer, solves linear systems. The HQC computer system splits the linear system to be solved into subsystems that are small enough to be solved by the quantum computer, under control of the classical computer. The classical computer synthesizes the outputs of the quantum computer to generate the complete solution to the linear...
