Patents by Inventor Philip Reinhold

Philip Reinhold 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).

  • Hardware-efficient fault-tolerant operations with superconducting circuits
    Patent number: 11449384
    Abstract: Techniques for providing hardware-efficient fault-tolerant quantum operations are provided. In some aspects a cavity and an ancilla transmon are used to implement a quantum operation by encoding a logical qubit using more than two energy levels of the cavity, encoding information using more than two energy levels of the ancilla transmon, and creating an interaction between the cavity and the ancilla transmon that decouples at least one error type in the ancilla transmon from the cavity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 5, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2022
    Assignee: Yale University
    Inventors: Serge Rosenblum, Philip Reinhold, Liang Jiang, Steven M. Girvin, Luigi Frunzio, Michel Devoret, Robert J. Schoelkopf, III
  • Techniques of oscillator state manipulation for quantum information processing and related systems and methods
    Patent number: 11263546
    Abstract: Techniques are described in which a qubit is far off-resonantly, or dispersively, coupled to a quantum mechanical oscillator. In particular, a dispersive coupling between a physical qubit and a quantum mechanical oscillator may be selected such that control of the combined qubit-oscillator system can be realized. The physical qubit may be driven with an electromagnetic pulse (e.g., a microwave pulse) and the quantum mechanical oscillator simultaneously driven with another electromagnetic pulse, the combination of which results in a change in state of the qubit-oscillator system.
