US Patent Issued to Yale University on May 5 for "Fast minimum-weight perfect matching (MWPM) decoder for quantum error correction" (Connecticut Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,619,903, issued on May 5, was assigned to Yale University (New Haven, Conn.).

"Fast minimum-weight perfect matching (MWPM) decoder for quantum error correction" was invented by Yue Wu (New Haven, Conn.), Lin Zhong (New Haven, Conn.) and Namitha Godawatte Liyanage (New Haven, Conn.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Provided herein are methods of solving minimum-weight perfect matching (MWPM) for quantum error correction. The methods include i) partitioning an algorithm into a dual module and a primal module; ii) computing a maximum update length in the dual module; iii) gathering a return value in the dual module, the return value including a ...
