Abstract:
1. A quantum processor comprising: a plurality of unit cells tiled over an area such that each unit cell is positioned proximally adjacent at least one other unit cell, each unit cell comprising: wherein a portion of at least one qubit in the first set of qubits in each unit cell crosses a portion of at least one qubit in the second set of qubits in at least one proximally adjacent unit cell, and wherein the quantum processor further comprises: a first set of inter-cell coupling devices, wherein each inter-cell coupling device in the first set of inter-cell coupling devices provides controllable communicative coupling between either a respective pair of qubits each in a respective first set of qubits in a respective one of a pair of proximally adjacent unit cells or a respective pair of qubits each in a respective second set of qubits in a respective one of a pair of proximally adjacent unit cells; and a second set of inter-cell coupling devices, wherein each inter-cell coupling device in the second set of inter-cell coupling devices is proximate a respective point where a respective pair of qubits in proximally adjacent unit cells cross one another and provides controllable communicative coupling between the respective pair of qubits in proximally adjacent unit cells that cross one another.
