  • Publication number: 20220147266
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing a QRAM by routing quantum information through multiple modes of a bosonic system are described. According to some aspects, a single bosonic system may be configured to maintain quantum information in a large number of independent modes at the same time. Suitable operations upon these modes may allow a quantum address value to be routed to modes associated with respective bits such that the only modes altered by the operations are those associated with the addresses being accessed. These modes may be operated upon based on the stored values then extracted to obtain the desired correlated superposition of the stored bit values in the addresses. The bits stored at the address locations may be classical bits, or may be qubits.

  • Publication number: 20220149765
    Abstract: The disclosure uses the Carter's coefficient to correct the equivalent electromagnetic air gap length. And the specific permeance on both sides of the primary core is obtained. Then, the permeance on both sides based on the structure of the primary core is calculated. An equation is established by using the continuity principle of flux, thereby obtaining the air gap magnetomotive force model of current-carrying conductor. The slot vector diagram of magnetomotive force in short primary linear machine is illustrated according to that in the rotating machine. Then, based on the winding arrangement and vector combination, the amplitude and phase of various spatial harmonic wave of the three-phase winding are obtained. Finally, the characteristics of average component distribution of the current-carrying conductor are adopted to obtain the pulsating magnetomotive force generated by the three-phase winding of the linear machine.
