Patents by Inventor Gerard J. Milburn

Gerard J. Milburn 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).

  • Patent number: 8148715
    Abstract: This invention concerns a quantum device, suitable for quantum computing, based on dopant atoms located in a solid semiconductor or insulator substrate. In further aspects the device is scaled up. The invention also concerns methods of reading out from the devices, initializing them, using them to perform logic operations and making them.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 19, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 3, 2012
    Assignee: Quocor Pty. Ltd.
    Inventors: Lloyd Christopher Leonard Hollenberg, Andrew Steven Dzurak, Cameron Wellard, Alexander Rudolf Hamilton, David J. Reilly, Gerard J. Milburn, Robert Graham Clark

  • Patent number: 7732804
    Abstract: Ionisation of one of a pair of dopant atoms in a substrate creates a double well potential, and a charge qubit is realised by the location of one or more electrons or holes within this potential. The dopant atoms may comprise phosphorous atoms, located in a silicon substrate. A solid state quantum computer may be formed using a plurality of pairs of dopant atoms, corresponding gate electrodes, and read-out devices comprising single electron transistors.
