  • Patent number: 11895931
    Abstract: The invention includes methods, and the structures formed, for multi-qubit chips. The methods may include annealing a Josephson junction of a qubit to either increase or decrease the frequency of the qubit. The conditions of the anneal may be based on historical conditions, and may be chosen to tune each qubit to a desired frequency.

  • Publication number: 20230205622
    Abstract: A quantum computer includes a quantum processor that includes a first plurality of qubits arranged in a hexagonal lattice pattern such that each is substantially located at a hexagon apex, and a second plurality of qubits each arranged substantially along a hexagon edge. Each of the first plurality of qubits is coupled to three nearest-neighbor qubits of the second plurality of qubits, and each of the second plurality of qubits is coupled to two nearest-neighbor qubits of the first plurality of qubits. Each of the second plurality of qubits is a control qubit at a control frequency. Each of the first plurality of qubits is a target qubit at one of a first target frequency or a second target frequency. The quantum computer includes an error correction device configured to operate on the hexagonal lattice pattern of the plurality of qubits so as to detect and correct data errors.

  • Patent number: 10692831
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of producing a quantum computer chip includes performing a frequency measurement on a qubit chip bonded to a test interposer chip for qubits on the qubit chip at an operating temperature of the qubit chip. The method further includes pulling the qubit chip apart from the test interposer chip after performing the frequency measurement, and modifying a frequency of a subset of qubits after pulling the qubit chip apart from the test interposer chip. The method further includes bonding the qubit chip to a device interposer chip after modifying the frequency of the subset of qubits.
