  • Publication number: 20210295194
    Abstract: In methods for simulating the evolution of a real-world quantum system over time, a state-preparation sequence of quantum gates is applied to a qubit register of a quantum computer. The state-preparation sequence is configured to prepare in the qubit register an initial model state representing an initial state of the real-world quantum system. A Hamiltonian operator for the real-world quantum system is received and used in the example method. The Hamiltonian operator represents two-body potential-energy interactions in a factorized form comprising at least one Majorana operator. A time-evolution-operator sequence of quantum gates comprising a block-encoded form of the Hamiltonian operator is now applied to the qubit register of the quantum computer, yielding a changed model state that represents a time-evolved state of the real-world quantum system. A measurement operation is applied subsequently to the qubit register.

    Abstract: This specification describes computer-implemented methods and systems. One method includes receiving, by a neural network of a speech recognition system, first data representing a first raw audio signal and second data representing a second raw audio signal. The first raw audio signal and the second raw audio signal describe audio occurring at a same period of time. The method further includes generating, by a spatial filtering layer of the neural network, a spatial filtered output using the first data and the second data, and generating, by a spectral filtering layer of the neural network, a spectral filtered output using the spatial filtered output. Generating the spectral filtered output comprises processing frequency-domain data representing the spatial filtered output. The method still further includes processing, by one or more additional layers of the neural network, the spectral filtered output to predict sub-word units encoded in both the first raw audio signal and the second raw audio signal.
