What we’re watching
IBM Patents a Modular Architecture for Running Error-Free Quantum Programs
Quantum computers are famously error-prone, and that flaw has kept them out of serious use for decades. IBM's new patent describes an…
Google Patents a Tunable Switch That Connects Quantum Bits With Less Hardware
Building a quantum computer isn't just about making better qubits, it's about connecting them cleanly without burying the whole system in control…
Microsoft Patents an Atom-Traffic Planner for Its Quantum Computer Architecture
Microsoft has filed a patent for software that acts like an air-traffic controller for individual atoms inside a quantum computer, deciding which…
Google Patents a Faster Way to Feed Classical Data into Quantum Computers
One of quantum computing's least-discussed bottlenecks is simply getting ordinary data in. Google has filed a patent for a method that breaks…
Google Patent: Correcting Quantum Computing Errors During Active Mid-Cycle Operations
Quantum computers make mistakes constantly, and catching those mistakes early enough to fix them is one of the hardest unsolved problems in…
Amazon Patents a System for Splitting Work Between Quantum and Regular Computers
Running a quantum algorithm today means stitching together two completely different kinds of computers by hand. Amazon wants to make that handoff…
Google Files Patent for a Lower-Cost Way to Run Quantum Chemistry Simulations
Quantum computers promise to simulate molecules in ways ordinary computers never could, but the error costs are steep. Google's new patent describes…
Google Patents a Method for Measuring Quantum Computer Accuracy Gate by Gate
Before a quantum computer can do anything useful, you need to know how badly it's getting things wrong. Google's new patent tackles…
Microsoft Patents a Hybrid System That Uses Quantum Computers to Pick the Best Physics Solver
Microsoft's new patent describes a setup where a classical computer tries several approaches to a hard physics problem, then hands them all…
Patent Targets Hidden Flaws That Cause Quantum Computers to Produce Wrong Answers
Quantum computers are only as good as the accuracy of their operations, and right now microscopic material defects are one of the…
Intel Patents a Self-Correcting Calibration Loop for Quantum Computer Qubits
Quantum computers are extraordinarily sensitive machines where the tiniest drift in a control signal can ruin a calculation. Intel's new patent describes…
