Abstract: A quantum information processor (QIP) may include a plurality of quantum registers, each quantum register containing at least one nuclear spin and at least one localized electronic spin. At least some of the quantum registers may be coherently coupled to each other by a dark spin chain that includes a series of optically unaddressable spins. Each quantum register may be optically addressable, so that quantum information can be initialized and read out optically from each register, and moved from one register to another through the dark spin chain, though an adiabatic sequential swap or through free-fermion state transfer. A scalable architecture for the QIP may include an array of super-plaquettes, each super-plaquette including a lattice of individually optically addressable plaquettes coupled to each other through dark spin chains, and separately controllable by confined microwave fields so as to permit parallel operations.

Abstract: Methods for alleviating osteoarthritis-associated symptoms by selecting a treatment-eligible patient and local administration of a clostridial derivative, such as a botulinum toxin, to an osteoarthritis-affected site are disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method for migration of a first virtual function of a first device located on a PCI bus and accessible by a device driver using a virtual address. A second virtual function is created on a second device. A base address is determined for the second virtual function as a function of a logical location of the second device within the PCI structure. An offset is determined for the second virtual function as a function of the base address and the virtual address. The device driver is notified that the first virtual function is on hold. The offset is stored in a translation table. The device driver is notified that the hold has been lifted. Accesses to the virtual address and by the device driver to memory of the second virtual function are routed based upon the offset in the translation table.

Abstract: There is set forth herein a computer program product, computing device, and method for displaying an email message. In one example, a computing device receives an input comprising at least one criterion for redacting email messages; stores the at least one criterion in a configuration of a client computer program; receives an email message having a field, the field comprising a first content; determines whether a condition of at least one of the email message and a current state of the computing device satisfies the at least one criterion stored in the configuration of the client computer program; and, in response to determining that the condition satisfies the at least one criterion, displays a second content in place of the first content in a user interface of the client computer program, wherein the second content is different than the first content.

The method may also include mapping the memory using the determined mapping mode.

Abstract: Personal digital assistant devices are provided that query power subsystems to determine a level of battery power currently available for operating processes, and further determine a number of screen display changes that may be effected on a persistent display device at that determined level. If the determined number of screen display changes that may be effected at the determined level of available battery power fails to meet a specified minimum threshold number of images, the processing unit powers down subsystems of the personal digital assistant device and causes a highest listed image of a prioritized list of screen image instances to be displayed on the persistent display device, which persistently displays the image after a loss of power.

Abstract: A system comprising a solid state lattice containing an electronic spin coupled to a nuclear spin; an optical excitation configuration which is arranged to generate first optical radiation to excite the electronic spin to emit output optical radiation without decoupling the electronic and nuclear spins; wherein the optical excitation configuration is further arranged to generate second optical radiation of higher power than the first optical radiation to decouple the electronic spin from the nuclear spin thereby increasing coherence time of the nuclear spin; a first pulse source configured to generate radio frequency (RF) excitation pulse sequences to manipulate the nuclear spin and to dynamically decouple the nuclear spin from one or more spin impurities in the solid state lattice so as to further increase the coherence time of the nuclear spin; a second pulse source configured to generate microwave excitation pulse sequences to manipulate the electronic spin causing a change in intensity of the output optic

Abstract: A quantum ticket is defined by a unique serial number; and a set of qubits, each qubit encoding quantum information. The serial number and the set of qubits are distributed only among one or more trusted verifiers who require a tolerance fidelity Ftol in order to authenticate the token, where Ftol represents a minimum percentage of correct outcomes during authentication of the serial number and the set of qubits. The experimental fidelity Fexp for the quantum token is greater than the Ft0i set by the verifiers, so that an honest user of the quantum ticket who achieves Fexp is exponentially likely to be successfully authenticated when seeking authentication by any of the trusted verifiers. The forging fidelity Fforg for the quantum token is less than Ft0i, so that a dishonest user who achieves Fforg and attempts forgery of the quantum ticket is exponentially likely to fail to obtain authentication for his forged ticket.
