ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,554,175, issued on Feb. 17, was assigned to PsiQuantum Corp. (Palo Alto, Calif.).

"Generation of entangled photonic states" was invented by Terence Rudolph (Palo Alto, Calif.) and Mihir Pant (Palo Alto, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of generating an entangled state for quantum computing includes providing respective qubit from a plurality of Bell pairs to a plurality of probabilistic entangling gates according to a predefined graph structure. The success probability for generating respective qubits of the entangled state using the probabilistic entangling gates is greater than a percolation threshold for the predefined g...
