Microsoft Quantum Computing Software Patents, A Watch Page

This blog post will be dedicated to posting links to Microsoft quantum computing software patents. I will keep adding to it as I become aware of newer patents. My method of finding patents is to use the USPTO search engine for granted patents with the queries:

AN/Microsoft AND IN/Wecker

AN/Microsoft AND IN/Svore

Note that the USPTO also has a search engine for patent applications that are not yet granted. I am not listing those here. You can use that search engine yourself if you also want to see “Previews of the Coming Attractions”

I give patent links to the GooglePatents website (instead of to the USPTO website)
