  • Systems and devices for quantum processor architectures
    Patent number: 9183508
    Abstract: Quantum processor architectures employ unit cells tiled over an area. A unit cell may include first and second sets of qubits where each qubit in the first set crosses at least one qubit in the second set. Angular deviations between qubits in one set may allow qubits in the same set to cross one another. Each unit cell is positioned proximally adjacent at least one other unit cell. Communicatively coupling between qubits is realized through respective intra-cell and inter-cell coupling devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 7, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2015
    Assignee: D-Wave Systems Inc.
