Patent number: 12293254Abstract: A compiler for a gate-based superconducting quantum computer compiles hybrid classical/quantum algorithms for quantum processing cells with different configurations. The compiler inputs the algorithm and outputs code in a target language executable by a quantum processing cell of a quantum processing system that can execute the algorithm. The compiler includes various functionality, such as: parsing, analyzing control flows, addressing, compressing, and translating. The compiler optimizes algorithms in various manners using the functionality. Some optimizations include addressing efficiently, compressing based on simulations, and translating for efficient execution of parametric functions. The compiler may function in the environment of a cloud quantum computing system. The cloud quantum computing system may receive algorithms from remote access nodes for execution on local classical and quantum computing systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2022Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: RIGETTI & CO, LLCInventors: Eric Christopher Peterson, Robert Stanley Smith

Patent number: 12165013Abstract: Techniques for training local decoders for use in a local and global decoding scheme for quantum error correction of circuit-level noise within quantum surface codes such that the decoding schemes have fast decoding throughout and low latency times for quantum algorithms are disclosed. The local decoders may have a neural network architecture and may be trained using training data sets comprising simulated rounds of syndrome measurements for respective simulated quantum surface codes in addition to information such as syndrome differences, qubit placements, and temporal boundaries within the simulated rounds of syndrome measurements in order to train the local decoders for arbitrarily sized quantum surface codes and arbitrary numbers of rounds of syndrome measurements. Following a local decoding stage in which a large number of data errors have been corrected by a local decoder, error correction for remaining errors may continue with a more efficient global decoding stage.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Chamberland, Luis Goncalves, Prasahnt Sivarajah, Eric Christopher Peterson, Sebastian Johannes Grimberg

Publication number: 20240310561Abstract: An exemplary method and system are disclosed comprising retroreflective metastructures formed with a plurality of metasurface arrays configured to destructively cancel or interfere, in part, with one another to reduce specular mode associated scattering or reflection. In some embodiments, the retroreflective metastructures are formed by a combination of metasurfaces with different lattice spacings that can exhibit enhanced bandwidth and angular range at near-grazing angles to provide enhanced retroreflective electromagnetic responses.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2022Publication date: September 19, 2024Inventors: Kenneth Wayne Allen, Daniel J.P.

Patent number: 12057859Abstract: Techniques for implementing a local neural network and global decoding scheme for quantum error correction of circuit-level noise within quantum surface codes such that the decoding schemes have fast decoding throughout and low latency times for quantum algorithms are disclosed. A local neural network decoder may be pre-trained via a supervised learning technique such that the local neural network decoder may be applied for error correction in the presence of circuit-level noise in arbitrarily sized surface codes in a local decoding stage. Prior to a global decoding stage, an intermediate stage may be used to remove vertical pairs of highlighted vertices within the matching graph, which may reduce a syndrome density within the matching graph to allow for faster decoding at the global decoding stage. Such an intermediate stage may include application of a syndrome collapse or vertical cleanup technique.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Chamberland, Luis Goncalves, Prasahnt Sivarajah, Eric Christopher Peterson, Sebastian Johannes Grimberg
