  • Maintaining calibration in a quantum computing system
    Patent number: 11875222
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a method executed in a quantum computing system includes performing a calibration process in the quantum computing system to identify a value of a parameter of the quantum computing system. The method also includes analyzing a variation of the value in response to a change in a condition of the quantum computing system, thereby determining a stability of the parameter. The method additionally includes scheduling a recalibration of the parameter based on the stability of the parameter and executing a quantum algorithm in the quantum computing system based on the value of the parameter identified by the calibration process.
