  • Patent number: 11960970
    Abstract: Systems and techniques that facilitate strategic pausing for quantum state leakage mitigation are provided. In various embodiments, a system can comprise a detection component that can detect a quantum state leakage associated with one or more qubits. In various aspects, the system can further comprise a pause component that can, in response to detecting the quantum state leakage, generate a time pause prior to execution of a quantum circuit on the one or more qubits. In various embodiments, the pause component can generate the time pause after execution of a previous quantum circuit on the one or more qubits, where the quantum state leakage arises during the execution of the previous quantum circuit. In some cases, the quantum state leakage can decay during the time pause.

  • Publication number: 20240020569
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, computer program products and/or computer-implemented methods of use provided herein relate to a process to dynamically determine a threshold for determining a state of a qubit and apply the threshold for operating a pulse to de-excite the qubit. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components can comprise a decision component that is configured to determine a threshold of a plurality of thresholds to apply to measurement of a state of a qubit based on a probability distribution of state of the qubit, wherein a measurement at one side of the threshold is representative of the qubit being in the ground state, and wherein a measurement at another side of the threshold is representative of the qubit being in an excited state.

  • Publication number: 20220059749
    Abstract: Lattice arrangements for quantum qubits are described. A lattice arrangement can comprise adjacent structures having vertices connected by edges. The qubits can be positioned on the vertices. A qubit in the lattice arrangement directly connects to not more than three other qubits, or connects to another qubit via a coupling qubit on an edge between two qubits on a vertex. The adjacent structures can comprise hexagons, dodecagons or octagons. A superconducting qubit lattice can comprise superconducting target qubits and superconducting control qubits. The superconducting qubit lattice can comprise adjacent structures having vertices connected by edges, with target qubits positioned on the vertices and control qubits positioned on the edges. Logic operations between adjacent superconducting target and control qubits can be implemented by driving the superconducting control qubit at or near the frequency of the superconducting target qubit.

  • Patent number: 10839306
    Abstract: Generating trial states for a variational quantum Eigenvalue solver (VQE) using a quantum computer is described. An example method includes selecting a number of samples S to capture from qubits for a particular trial state. The method further includes mapping a Hamiltonian to the qubits according the trial state. The method further includes setting up an entangler in the quantum computer, the entangler defining an entangling interaction between a subset of the qubits of the quantum computer. The method further includes reading out qubit states after post-rotations associated with Pauli terms in the target Hamiltonian, the reading out being performed for S samples. The method further includes computing an energy state using the S qubit states. The method further includes, in response to the estimated energy state not converging with an expected energy state, computing a new trial state for the VQE and iterating to compute the estimated energy using the new trial state.
