US Patent Issued to ColdQuanta on March 31 for "Optical routing network-based quantum array control" (Wisconsin Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,592,783, issued on March 31, was assigned to ColdQuanta Inc. (Boulder, Colo.).

"Optical routing network-based quantum array control" was invented by Mark Saffman (Madison, Wis.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A quantum computer system uses a network of Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) to route laser light to selected atoms of a quantum array. The MZI network is defined in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), which also includes an array of optical gratings. A laser system generates the light, the electronically controlled MZI network routes the light to respective optical gratings. The optical gratings convert the light from the MZI n...
