Abstract: A system, e.g., an autonomous vehicle, includes a sensor suite, a controller, and a computer-controllable device. The sensor suite collects user data descriptive of the present emotional state of a human user, such as a passenger of the representative autonomous vehicle. The controller executes a method to control the system. In particular, the controller identifies the user's psychological mode of experience in response to the user data. The controller also selects one or more intervening control actions or “interventions” from a list of possible interventions based on the mode of experience, and then controls an output state of the device to implement the intervention(s). In this manner the controller is able to support or modify the mode of experience of the user.

Each qubit rotating to a desired initial direction and then each rotated qubit is further rotated to its antipodal direction by applying a quantum NOT or CNOT gate to the each rotated qubit, without any knowledge about the desired direction. A unitary gate is further applied over the qubits, using an ancillary |0 qubit that creates an equally weighted superposition of the qubits.
