Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for allocating computing resources. In one aspect, a method includes receiving intent data specifying one or more computing services to be hosted by a computing network, requested characteristics of computing resources for use in hosting the computing service, and a priority value for each requested characteristic. A budget constraint is identified for each computing service. Available resources data is identified that specifies a set of available computing resources. A resource allocation problem for allocating computing resources for the one or more computing resources is generated based on the intent data, each budget constraint, and the available resources data. At least a portion of the set of computing resources is allocated for the one or more computing services based on results of evaluating the resource allocation problem to meet a particular resource allocation objective.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for parallel decoding for quantum error correction codes. In one aspect, a classical computer system is configured to implement a decoding process on measurement data received from a quantum computing system to determine errors in a quantum computation. The classical computing system implements a main thread, multiple worker threads, and a data structure common to each worker thread. The data structure stores data of a dynamic system of disjoint clusters of nodes of a detector graph for the decoding process, where the data includes compressed logical flip information of child nodes in each cluster of nodes. During execution of the decoding process, the multiple worker threads are configured to, in parallel: obtain clusters of nodes and modify the clusters of nodes, where, for each modification, the worker thread updates data in the data structure that corresponds to the cluster under an atomicity primitive.

Abstract: A system may receive first level authentication data from a first user, authorize first level access to a secure device, and transmit a push notification including a second factor authentication key to a first user device responsive to first factor authentication data matching stored authentication data for the first user. The system may receive a wireless communication from the first user device attenuated by one or more beam attenuating materials to form a first attenuated beam profile. In response to a match of the first attenuated beam profile to a stored beam profile beyond a predetermined threshold, the system may associate the second factor authentication key as an authorized login credential for the first user. The system may receive the second factor authentication key from the first user and authorize the second factor authentication data to grant the first user second level access to the secure device.

Abstract: The present invention describes an improved catalytic reactor system with an improved catalyst that transforms CO2 and low carbon H2 into low-carbon syngas with greater than an 80% CO2 conversion efficiency, resulting in the reduction of plant capital and operating costs compared to processes described in the current art. The inside surface of the adiabatic catalytic reactors is lined with an insulating, non-reactive surface which does not react with the syngas and effect catalyst performance. The improved catalyst is robust, has a high CO2 conversion efficiency, and exhibits little or no degradation in performance over long periods of operation. The low-carbon syngas is used to produce low-carbon fuels (e.g., diesel fuel, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene, others), chemicals, and other products resulting in a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel derived products.
