Patent number: 10352992Abstract: A quantum error-correction technique includes applying a first set of two-qubit gates to qubits in a lattice cell, and applying a second, different set of two-qubit gates to the qubits in the lattice cell. The qubits in the lattice cell include data qubits and ancilla qubits, and the ancilla qubits reside between respective nearest-neighbor pairs of the data qubits. After the first and second sets of two-qubit gates have been applied, measurement outcomes of the ancilla qubits are obtained, and the parity of the measurement outcomes is determined.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Rigetti & Co, Inc.Inventors: William J.

Patent number: 10140404Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum information processing circuit is analyzed. In some implementations, a linear response function of a quantum information processing circuit is generated. A linear circuit model is generated based on the linear response function. A composite circuit model is generated by combining the linear circuit model and a nonlinear circuit model. An operating parameter of the quantum information processing circuit is computed by solving the composite circuit model. In some implementations, an electromagnetic structure solver determines the linear response function based on a circuit specification, a quantum circuit analysis tool calculates the operating parameters, and the circuit specification is modified based on the operating parameters.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Rigetti & Co, Inc.Inventors: Chad T.
