ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 1 -- United States Patent no. 12,725,063, issued on Sept. 1, was assigned to Google LLC (Mountain View, Calif.).

"Fermionic simulation gates" was invented by Ryan Babbush (Venice, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods, systems, and apparatus for simulating a physical system. A Hamiltonian describing the physical system is transformed into a qubit Hamiltonian describing a corresponding system of qubits, the qubit Hamiltonian comprising a transformed kinetic energy operator. The evolution of the system of qubits under the qubit Hamiltonian is simulated, including simulating the evolution of the system of qubits under the transformed kinetic energy operator by appl...
