Patents by Inventor Eric Hyyppä

Eric Hyyppä has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230371404
    Abstract: A quantum processing unit is disclosed. The quantum processing unit includes at least one superconducting qubit based on phase-biased linear and non-linear inductive-energy elements. A superconducting phase difference across the linear and non-linear inductive-energy elements is biased, for example, by an external magnetic field, such that quadratic potential energy terms of the linear and non-linear inductive-energy elements are cancelled at least partly. In a preferred embodiment, such cancellation is at least 30%. The partial cancellation of the quadratic potential makes it possible to implement a high-coherence high-anharmonicity superconducting qubit design.
    Type: Application
