Double individual-addressing multi-beam Raman system
Patent number: 12088351
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems, and more particularly, to a double individual-addressing multi-beam Raman system for use in QIP systems. A technique is described in which a first multi-channel modulator (MCM), a first telecentric zoom lens, and a first interleaver that form a first optical path of the Raman system that receives a first array of beams and adjusts the first array of beams to individually address atomic-based qubits in a chain from a first direction. Moreover, a second MCM, a second telecentric zoom lens, and a second interleaver form a second optical path of the Raman system that receives a second array of beams and adjusts the second arrays of beams to individually address the atomic-based qubits in the chain from a second direction different from the first direction.

Techniques for controlling small angle Mølmer-Sørensen gates and for handling asymmetric SPAM errors
Patent number: 12086691
Abstract: The disclosure describes various techniques to control of small angle Mølmer-Sørensen (MS) gates and to handle asymmetric errors. A technique is described that implements a two-qubit calibration circuit with two MS gates, where a parameter ? represents an amount of entanglement of the MS gate. The calibration circuit is run for several values of ? to measure observed parity signals that are direct measurements of the values of ?. Calibration information is generated that describes the relationship between ? and the parity signals, and such calibration information is then provided to arbitrarily calibrate one or more MS gates in a quantum simulation. Another technique is described for using the calibration information in quantum simulations, including for quantum chemistry simulations.

Noise reduced circuits for superconducting quantum computers
Patent number: 12086203
Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally related to a method and a system for performing a computation using a hybrid quantum-classical computing system, and, more specifically, to providing an approximate solution to an optimization problem using a hybrid quantum-classical computing system that includes a group of trapped ions. A hybrid quantum-classical computing system that is able to provide a solution to a combinatorial optimization problem may include a classical computer, a system controller, and a quantum processor. The methods and systems described herein include an efficient and noise resilient method for constructing trial states in the quantum processor in solving a problem in a hybrid quantum-classical computing system, which provides improvement over the conventional method for computation in a hybrid quantum-classical computing system.
