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

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
