US Patent 11941484 Generating non-classical measurements on devices with parameterized time evolution

A quantum contextual measurement is generated from a quantum device capable of performing continuous time evolution, by generating a first measurement result and a second measurement result and combining the first measurement result and the second measurement result to generate the quantum contextual measurement. The first measurement result may be generated by initializing the quantum device to a first initial quantum state, applying a first continuous time evolution to the first initial state to generate a first evolved state, and measuring the first evolved state to generate the first measurement result. A similar process may be applied to generate a second evolved state which is at least approximately equal to the first evolved state, and then applying another continuous time evolution to the second evolved state to generate a third evolved state, and measuring the third evolved state to generate the second measurement result.
