  • Systems and methods for preservation of qubits
    Patent number: 11657313
    Abstract: Embodiments of quantum ring oscillator-based coherence preservation circuits including a cascaded set of stages are described. Embodiments of such quantum ring oscillator-based coherence preservation circuits allow the internal (superpositioned) quantum state information of stored qubits to be preserved over long periods of time and present options for the measurement and potential correction of both deterministic and non-deterministic errors without disturbing the quantum information stored in the structure itself.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2023
    Assignee: ANAMETRIC, INC.
    Inventors: Mitchell A. Thornton, Duncan L. MacFarlane, Timothy P. LaFave, Jr., William V. Oxford
  • Systems and methods for quantum coherence preservation of qubits
    Patent number: 11080614
    Abstract: Embodiments of feedback-based quantum circuits are described. Embodiments of such quantum circuits may be externally controlled using only basis or eigenstate (classically-observable) signals without triggering de-coherence. Additionally, embodiments of such quantum circuits allow the internal (superpositioned) quantum state information to be preserved over long periods of time and present options for quantum error-correction due to the basis-state controls. Moreover, a coupling of two such feedback-based quantum circuits allows for quantum-channel-based information exchange to a variety of ends.
