Abstract: Aerial vehicles are assigned to routes within a transportation network based on a state of charge, state of power, and/or state of health for the aerial vehicle. Such aspects can be modeled based on one or more statistical models and/or machine-learned models, among other examples. As another example, an energy budget is used to ensure that the state of charge, state of power, and/or state of health of the aerial vehicle during and/or after traveling the route remains within the energy budget. A payload is assigned to a route and an associated aerial vehicle, thereby generating an itinerary. In examples, the itinerary is validated by the aerial vehicle to ensure that the aerial vehicle is capable of traveling the route with the payload. In examples where the aerial vehicle rejects the itinerary, the itinerary is assigned to another aerial vehicle and a new itinerary is identified for the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: Quantum annealers as analog or quantum processors can find paths in problem graphs embedded in a hardware graph of the processor, for example finding valid paths, shortest paths or longest paths. A set of input, for example nucleic acid reads, can be used to set up a graph with edges between nodes denoting overlap (i.e., common base pairs) between the reads with constraints applied to perform sequence alignment or sequencing of a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) strand or sequence, finding a solution that has a ground state energy. At least a portion of the described approaches can be applied to other problems, for instance resource allocations problems, e.g., job scheduling problems, traveling salesperson problems, and other NP-complete problems.

Abstract: A topology or hardware graph of a quantum processor is modifiable, for example prior to embedding of a problem, for instance by creating chains of qubits, where each chain which operates as a single or logical qubit to impose a logical graph on the quantum processor. A user interface (UI) allows a user to select a topology suited for embedding a particular problem or type of problem, to supply parameters that define the desired topology, or to supply or specify a problem graph or problem definition from which a processor-based system determines or selects an appropriate topology or logical graph to impose. Topologies may have regularity and/or self-similarity over the quantum processor or portions thereof, which portions may constitute unit cells. Logical graphs imposed on the quantum processor may take the form of a hypercube graph. A UI allows the user to specify a desired dimension of the hypercube graph.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing user interactions with applications. If a user employs a client computer to interact with a testing environment test events may be provided to a measurement engine based on user interactions, such that, the test events may include device identifiers associated with the client computer. If the user interacts with the application on the client computer separate from the testing environment application events may be provided to the measurement engine based on user interactions with the application, such that, the application events include the device identifiers. The measurement engine may be employed to correlate the test events with the application events based on the device identifiers. Reports associated events and user interaction with the application may be provided.
