US Patent Issued to D-WAVE SYSTEMS on Dec. 16 for "Systems, articles, and methods for a tunable capacitor" (Canadian Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,501,840, issued on Dec. 16, was assigned to D-WAVE SYSTEMS (Burnaby, Canada).

"Systems, articles, and methods for a tunable capacitor" was invented by George E.G. Sterling (Vancouver, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In some implementations, a superconducting integrated circuit has a tunable parallel-plate capacitor, and a magnetic field generator operable to apply a magnetic field to the tunable parallel-plate capacitor to tune a capacitance of the tunable parallel-plate capacitor. The tunable parallel-plate capacitor includes a first capacitor plate having a plane, a second capacitor plate having a plane, and a dielectric interpos...
