A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928555B2) discloses a system comprising multiple quantum processors, each with physical quantum bits, to perform an information processing method. The method involves configuring logical quantum bits, error checking on these bits, and swapping quantum states between groups of processors in case of errors. The system also conducts error checking on the swapped logical quantum bits to ensure accuracy and reliability in quantum information processing.

Furthermore, the patent details the error checking process, which includes error syndrome measurements and error correction based on the comparison of results from different groups of quantum processors. The system is designed to efficiently detect and correct errors in logical quantum bits by swapping quantum states between processor groups. Additionally, the method involves multiple groups of quantum processors configuring logical quantum bits, performing error checking, and swapping quantum states as needed to maintain the integrity of quantum information processing. This innovative approach aims to enhance the performance and accuracy of quantum processors in information processing tasks, ensuring reliable results in quantum computing applications.
