  • Publication number: 20260178695
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for estimating a property of a semiconductor device using a quantum computing device are provided. A method comprises initializing a first system of equations based on one or more parameters relating to a spatially discretized representation of the semiconductor device, applying a method of cyclic reduction to the first system of equations to obtain a second system of equations which reduces the computational complexity of the method; and estimating the property of the semiconductor device based on the solution to the second system of equations. A method comprises determining entries of a matrix B that is the inverse of a matrix A, where the entries of the matrix A represent interactions within a layer of a spatially discretized representation of a semiconductor device, by formulating a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization, QUBO, problem, and executing the QUBO problem on a quantum computing device.
