ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,770,046, issued on Oct. 20.
"Monte carlo quantum computing" was invented by Haiqing Wei (San Jose, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Monte Carlo methods are described for efficiently simulating a separately frustration-free Hamiltonian of a many-body quantum system on a classical computer. Also disclosed are methods for designing a separately frustration-free Hamiltonian to simulate a prescribed quantum system. Further described are methods for solving a prescribed computational problem by designing a quantum system having a separately frustration-free Hamiltonian and simulating the designed quantum system via Monte Carlo on a classi...
