DOUBLY CONTROLLED iX CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806927 titled 'DOUBLY CONTROLLED iX CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a quantum computing device that includes a circuit called CCiX, which is capable of performing a specific operation on qubits. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The CCiX circuit prepares magic states in a preparation stage.
  • It receives input qubit states, including a first control qubit, a second control qubit, and a target qubit.
  • In an execution stage, the CCiX circuit performs a CCiX operation on the target qubit using local joint measurements.
  • Some of these local joint measurements are performed between the magic states and auxiliary qubits.
  • The CCiX operation also involves remote joint measurements of the input qubit states and interface qubits among the auxiliary qubits.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Quantum computing: The CCiX circuit can be used in quantum computers to perform complex operations on qubits, which can lead to advancements in various fields such as cryptography, optimization, and simulation.
  • Error correction: The ability to perform joint measurements and manipulate qubits can help in error correction techniques, improving the reliability and accuracy of quantum computations.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Complex operations: The CCiX circuit enables the execution of a specific operation (CCiX) on qubits, which can be challenging to achieve with traditional computing methods.
  • Quantum state preparation: The circuit can prepare magic states, which are essential for certain quantum algorithms and protocols.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced quantum computing capabilities: The CCiX circuit expands the range of operations that can be performed on qubits, increasing the potential power and versatility of quantum computers.
  • Improved error correction: The ability to perform joint measurements and manipulate qubits can help in detecting and correcting errors, leading to more reliable quantum computations.
