  • Strong simulation methods for unit testing quantum software
    Patent number: 11386345
    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes example embodiments that provide a framework for testing quantum programs in a manner similar to unit testing of classical programs by using a simulator that can predict the probability of measurements in a quantum system (known as a “strong simulator”). For a particular quantum program, embodiments of the disclosed technology use information exposed by strong simulation that would not otherwise be available to compare the given program to a desired reference program.
    Type: Grant
