ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,547,917, issued on Feb. 10, was assigned to HQS Quantum Simulations GmbH (Karlsruhe, Germany).
"Method for error reduction in a quantum computer" was invented by Juha Leppaekangas (Karlsruhe, Germany), Michael Marthaler (Karlsruhe, Germany) and Sebastian Zanker (Karlsruhe, Germany).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "It is already known that quantum computers can be used to simulate materials and molecules. However, quantum computers are error-prone and exhibit intrinsic noise, which has so far made the real technical application of quantum computers impossible. Approaches are already known from the prior art which, despite the error susceptib...
