Patent ID: 8772759

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