QUANTUM PROCESSOR AND ITS USE FOR IMPLEMENTING A NEURAL NETWORK

摘要

A quantum processor is disclosed. The quantum processor comprises N successive groups of a plurality of qubits (1, 2, …, N), wherein N is greater than or equal to three; wherein each group of qubits of the N successive groups of a plurality of qubits comprises a plurality of substantially parallel qubits; wherein each qubit of a first group of the N successive groups of a plurality of qubits is sized and shaped so that it crosses substantially perpendicularly a portion of each qubit of a second group of qubits of the N successive groups of a plurality of qubits; wherein each qubit of a last group of the N successive groups of a plurality of qubits is sized and shaped so that it crosses substantially perpendicularly a portion of each qubit of a second to last group of the N successive groups of a plurality of qubits; wherein each qubit of any given group of the N-2 successive groups of a plurality of qubits, not including the first group and the last group, is sized and shaped so that it crosses substantially perpendicularly a portion of each qubit of only a corresponding successive group and a corresponding preceding group of the N successive groups of a plurality of qubits and a plurality of couplers, each coupler for providing a communicative coupling at a crossing of two qubits.
