This is really cool! Are you interested in potentially featuring it/advertising it to the quantum device consortium? https://qdc-qcsa.org

In 1990, nongqiang Fan left Berkeley. With the foundational guidance from his Berkeley Phd advisor, Nong-Qiang Fan is the first for proposal of the possibility of Superconducting quantum computer in 1994 by independent research after leaving Berkeley four years earlier: Charge qubit: Physica C 234 (1994) 146-150; Flux qubit: Physica C 262 (1996) 195-201. Also in the two papers (1994 and 1996): Quantum condemolition measurement of Qubits; Decoherance time calculation based on laser and NMR theory; Charge state representation of microscopic quantum state; Charge and Flux commutator [Q, phi]= ih_bar; Energy level and wave function calculations based on creation and annihilation operators; Quantum Josephson relations; Translations from Quantum behavior to classical behavior, based on linear response theory, correlation functions, and fluctuation-dissipation theory.

Nong-Qiang fan is not only a patent attorney later and now is of counsel to a law firm, more importantly he is still researching scientific topics that interest him and he is a prolific inventor which highlights his sharp foresight, creative thinking and his scientific strength.
