GEOMETRY-BASED COMPRESSION FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18351666 titled 'GEOMETRY-BASED COMPRESSION FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a quantum computing device that uses a surface code lattice and a compression scheme to improve efficiency and accuracy in quantum computations.

  • Quantum computing device with a surface code lattice and logical qubits
  • Surface code lattice is divided into multiple regions based on its geometry
  • Compression engine is connected to each logical qubit to compress syndrome data
  • Compression engine uses a geometry-based compression scheme
  • Decompression engine is connected to each compression engine
  • Decompression engine receives compressed syndrome data and decompresses it
  • Decompressed syndrome data is then sent to a decoder block for further processing


Original Abstract Submitted

A quantum computing device comprises a surface code lattice that includes l logical qubits, where l is a positive integer. The surface code lattice is partitioned into two or more regions based on lattice geometry. A compression engine is coupled to each logical qubit of the l logical qubits. Each compression engine is configured to compress syndrome data generated by the surface code lattice using a geometry-based compression scheme. A decompression engine is coupled to each compression engine. Each decompression engine is configured to receive compressed syndrome data, decompress the received compressed syndrome data, and route the decompressed syndrome data to a decoder block.
