  • Patent number: 11977956
    Abstract: In a general aspect, calibration is performed in a quantum computing system. In some cases, domains of a quantum computing system are identified, where the domains include respective domain control subsystems and respective subsets of quantum circuit devices in a quantum processor of the quantum computing system. Sets of measurements are obtained from one of the domains and stored in memory. Device characteristics of the quantum circuit devices of the domain are obtained based on the set of measurements, and the device characteristics are stored in a memory of the control system. Quantum logic control parameters for the subset of quantum circuit devices of the domain are obtained based on the set of measurements and stored in memory.

  • Patent number: 11954562
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum computing method is described. In some aspects, a control system in a quantum computing system assigns subsets of qubit devices in a quantum processor to respective cores. The control system identifies boundary qubit devices residing between the cores in the quantum processor and generates control sequences for each respective core. A signal delivery system in communication with the control system and the quantum processor receives control signals to execute the control sequences, and the control signals are applied to the respective cores in the quantum processor.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10540604
    Abstract: In a general aspect, three-dimensional integrated multilayer architectures for qubit devices organized in quantum processors are described herein. In some aspects, a quantum processor includes devices residing in multiple physical layers. The quantum processor also includes connections that interconnect the devices in a tree structure topology. A computational state is encoded in child qubit devices in a first layer of the tree structure topology. A quantum control sequence is applied to at least one of the devices to transform the computational state. Applying the quantum control sequence includes using one or more parent qubit devices in a second layer of the tree structure topology to mediate between child qubit devices in the first layer of the tree structure topology. A readout of the transformed computational state may be performed.
