  • Patent number: 12006206
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include systems and techniques for converting (i.e., transducing) a quantum-level (e.g., single photon) signal between the three wave forms (i.e., optical, acoustic, and microwave). A suspended crystalline structure is used at the nanometer scale to accomplish the desired behavior of the system as described in detail herein. Transducers that use a common acoustic intermediary transform optical signals to acoustic signals and vice versa as well as microwave signals to acoustic signals and vice versa. Other embodiments described herein include systems and techniques for storing a qubit in phonon memory having an extended coherence time. A suspended crystalline structure with specific geometric design is used at the nanometer scale to accomplish the desired behavior of the system.

  • Patent number: 11824248
    Abstract: A shielded bridge for a coplanar waveguide (CPW) includes a signal bridge extending from a first terminal of the CPW to a second terminal of the CPW. The signal bridge has a raised central portion that extends over a separate signal conductor. The shielded bridge for the CPW also includes a ground bridge extending from a first ground plane on a first side of the separate signal conductor to a second ground plane on a second side of the separate signal conductor. The ground bridge is positioned between the signal bridge and the separate signal conductor.

  • Patent number: 10916821
    Abstract: Metamaterial waveguides and shielded bridges are employed to improve the scalability and routing of quantum computing circuits. A metamaterial waveguide includes a signal conductor that has a periodic array of lumped element resonators distributed along and electrically coupled to a signal conductor. The periodic array of lumped element resonator pairs defines a bandgap within an operating bandwidth of the waveguide. Qubits can communicate within the operating bandwidth of the waveguide and communications via the waveguide can be controlled by changing a center frequency of the qubits. A shielded bridge is used to cross over high frequency communications and control CPW's in a quantum computing circuit. The shielded bridge includes a signal bridge that is elevated and extends over a separate CPW, and a ground bridge positioned between the signal bridge and the separate CPW.
