Microsoft Patents a Way to Measure How Well-Protected Its Quantum States Really Are
Before you can build a topological quantum computer, you need to know exactly how 'protected' your quantum states really are — and…
Google Patents a Way to Stop Quantum Bits from Accidentally Talking to Each Other
One of the nastiest problems in building a quantum computer isn't making qubits — it's stopping them from accidentally talking to each…
Google Patents a Double-Ended Qubit Readout That Extracts Two Results at Once
Every time you measure a qubit in a quantum computer, the act of measuring disturbs it — so knowing what state the…
IBM Patents a Flux-Tunable Superconducting Switch for Quantum Signal Routing
Routing signals inside a quantum computer is one of the messiest unsolved problems in the field — and IBM thinks a tiny…
Google Patents a Flux-Based Readout System for Superconducting Qubits
Reading out a qubit's state without wrecking it is one of quantum computing's hardest plumbing problems. Google's new patent proposes using a…
