Patent number: 11782779Abstract: Techniques for quantum error correction of a multi-level system are provided and described. In some aspects, techniques for encoding a state of a multi-level quantum system include encoding a quantum information in a two-mode state of two quantum mechanical oscillators. Techniques for protecting the two-mode state against dephasing and energy loss are described.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2019Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Yale UniversityInventors: Victor V. Albert, Shantanu Mundhada, Alexander Grimm, Steven Touzard, Michel Devoret, Liang Jiang

Patent number: 11263546Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2016Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Yale UniversityInventors: Reinier Heeres, Philip Reinhold, Victor V. Albert, Liang Jiang, Luigi Frunzio, Michel Devoret, Robert J. Schoelkopf, III
