Currently working on hardware R&D for an optical quantum computer with a million qubits for PsiQuantum.

I am unable to discuss IP beyond what is in the public domain, however some have been famously speculated for you by the media. See "reference switch architectures" and "foveated tunable lens system" as media hyped examples.

Previously in William C Athas' (one of three Apple Fellows along with D. Conroy and S. Wozniak) Exploratory Design Group (XDG) the top R&D org. See also multicomb spectrometer patent with Bill Athas and Jeff Koller.
