  • Periodic probabilistic two-dimensional cluster state generator with arbitrary interconnections
    Patent number: 8995797
    Abstract: A Periodic Cluster State Generator (PCSG) consisting of a monolithic integrated waveguide device that employs four wave mixing, an array of probabilistic Photon Guns, single mode Sequential Entanglers and an array of controllable entangling gates between modes to create arbitrary size and shape cluster states with several constraints. The cluster state is assumed linear or square lattice. Only nearest neighbor qubits are entangled. Such a cluster state resource has been proven to be able to perform universal quantum computing if the initial state is large enough.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 31, 2015
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force
    Inventors: Amos Matthew Smith, Michael L Fanto, Paul M. Alsing, Gordon Lott

  • Number resolving superconducting nanowire photon detector on multiple surfaces of a substrate
    Patent number: 8577430
    Abstract: A superconducting nanowire photon detector apparatus comprising detection, insulating, and substrate layers. The insulating layer provides electrical isolation of a plurality of individual detector elements from the interconnection network fabricated on the substrate layer except where electrical interconnection between the inputs and outputs of each detector element and the interconnection network is intended.
