Application: Apparatus and method for scalable qubit addressing (Patent ID: US20230385669A1)
The patent filed by Intel Corp. describes an apparatus and method for scalable qubit addressing in a processor. The processor includes a decoder to decode quantum and non-quantum instructions, execution circuitry with an address generation unit for system memory addressing, and quantum index generation circuitry to uniquely identify qubits in a quantum processor. The quantum index values are read from architectural registers to modify or ascertain the state of qubits based on the instructions executed.
The claims associated with the patent detail a machine-readable medium storing program code for compiling and executing quantum and non-quantum instructions, determining memory addresses, and modifying qubit states. The method involves compiling source code, generating runtime program code, and executing quantum operations related to qubits. The apparatus includes memory to store runtime program code and execution circuitry to perform operations related to qubits, memory access, and quantum instruction execution. The patent covers various aspects of quantum computing, including different types of quantum processing units, memory operations, and instruction set architecture extensions.
