Official Filing: View the Complete Patent
Abstract: Various reconfigurable phononic devices, including phase shifters, mirrors, Mach Zehnder interferometers, memories, and transducers for use in both classical and quantum computing systems are disclosed. The individual phononic devices may be combined in various configurations to implement desired, more complex functionality. The phononic devices may be coupled together to implement the desired functionality using phononic waveguides. The phononic devices include one or more phase shifters that are operationally based on either hyperelasticity or a moving boundary effect.
