ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,555,022, issued on Feb. 17, was assigned to D-WAVE SYSTEMS INC. (Burnaby, Canada).

"Systems and methods for embedding graphs using systolic algorithms" was invented by Kelly T.R. Boothby (Vancouver, Canada), Peter D. Spear (Burnaby, Canada) and Mani Ranjbar (Port Coquitlam, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An accelerated version of a node-weighted path distance algorithm is implemented on a microprocessor coupled to a digital processor. The algorithm calculates an embedding of a source graph into a target graph (e.g., hardware graph of a quantum processor). The digital processor causes the microprocessor to send seeds to logic block...
