Phononic System to Achieve Quantum-Analogue Phase-Based Unitary Operations

Case ID:
UA18-040
Invention:

This invention is the physical representation of logic gates and operations for quantum computing. It makes use of the properties of phononic materials.

 

Background:
Quantum computing is a scientific frontier that originated as a concept in the 1980s and has become a relentless pursuit for many of the country's top tech companies and universities. It has academic value but is ultimately marked by its potential for energy efficiency, fast computing and problem-solving superior to the computers of today.

 

Applications:

  • Quantum computing
  • Potential to be altered for use in displays, sensors or processes that require wave propagation control


Advantages:

  • Allows for use in phononic based quantum computing


Status: issued U.S. patent #11,017,756
