ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,530,611, issued on Jan. 20, was assigned to Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of the University of Arizona (Tucson, Ariz.).

"Systems and methods for classical entanglement in large multi-qubit acoustic analogue systems" was invented by Keith Runge (Tucson, Ariz.), M. Arif Hasan (Tucson, Ariz.) and Pierre A. Deymier (Tucson, Ariz.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed are systems and methods for scalable, large, multiple logical phi-bit quantum analogue system for achieving controllable classical entanglement (e.g., nonseparability). A method can include driving an array of elastically coupled acoustic waveguides by exciting at least ...
