MODULAR QUANTUM SYSTEM WITH DISCRETE LEVELS OF CONNECTIVITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17936247 titled 'MODULAR QUANTUM SYSTEM WITH DISCRETE LEVELS OF CONNECTIVITY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes devices and methods for creating modular quantum systems with discreet levels of connectivity.
- Quantum computing device with modules containing qubits, buses, and readout structures.
- Multiple types of couplers (classical, short-range, long-range) used to connect the qubits, buses, and readout structures.
- Connection from the modules to external classical controllers outside of the cryogenic environment.
- Enables the creation of modular quantum systems with different levels of connectivity.
- Provides flexibility in designing and scaling quantum computing devices.
- Allows for easier integration of classical control systems with quantum modules.
Original Abstract Submitted
Devices and methods that facilitate modular quantum systems with discreet levels of connectivity are provided. In various embodiments, a quantum computing device can comprise one or more modules comprising at least qubits, buses, and readout structures; a plurality of couplers, wherein the plurality of couplers comprises at least two couplers selected from a group consisting of: classical couplers, short-range couplers, and long-range couplers, that are adapted for coupling a plurality of the at least qubits, buses, and readout structures; and a connection from the one or more modules to one or more classical controllers external to a cryogenic environment comprising the one or more modules.
