US Patent Issued to Second Foundation on May 12 for "Device and method for continuous time quantum computing" (Austrian, American Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,626,173, issued on May 12, was assigned to Second Foundation Inc..

"Device and method for continuous time quantum computing" was invented by Michele Reilly (Vienna) and Seth Lloyd (Cambridge, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The present disclosure relates to quantum computing methods and devices, wherein a computation corresponding to a certain desired unitary transformation of the Hilbert space of a quantum system, such as a set of qubits, is implemented by selective application of control pulses in order realize a continuous time quantum computation rather than by decomposing the unitary transformation into a sequence of gates taken...
