  • Patent number: 11960970
    Abstract: Systems and techniques that facilitate strategic pausing for quantum state leakage mitigation are provided. In various embodiments, a system can comprise a detection component that can detect a quantum state leakage associated with one or more qubits. In various aspects, the system can further comprise a pause component that can, in response to detecting the quantum state leakage, generate a time pause prior to execution of a quantum circuit on the one or more qubits. In various embodiments, the pause component can generate the time pause after execution of a previous quantum circuit on the one or more qubits, where the quantum state leakage arises during the execution of the previous quantum circuit. In some cases, the quantum state leakage can decay during the time pause.

  • Patent number: 11860923
    Abstract: The technology relates to selecting and displaying images captured at different points in time. As an example, a user of a computing device may view a first street level image as viewed from a particular location and oriented in a particular direction. The user may select other time periods for which similar images are available. Upon selecting a particular time period, a second street level image may be displayed concurrently with the first street level image, wherein the second street level image was captured on or around the selected time period. If the user changes the perspective of the first image an automatic change in perspective of the second image may occur.

  • Patent number: 11847252
    Abstract: An online document system manages access to features within the online document system. The online document system may receive and fulfill a request from a first entity to sponsor a feature for a second entity. The online document system may determine an access policy to restrict access to the sponsored feature. For example, the access policy may include a requirement that the second entity only use the sponsored feature with the first entity. The first entity may provide a second access policy to the online document system to enforce. If the second entity satisfies requirements of the access policies, the online document system may then provide access to the second entity to use the sponsored feature.

  • Patent number: 11823018
    Abstract: An approach is described for a method, product, and apparatus for a machine learning process using weight sharing within a systolic array having reduced memory bandwidth. According to some embodiments, this approach includes providing a systolic array that includes processing elements which each have some number of storage elements for storing weights. For example, the weights can be reused for different data sets by identifying/capturing a current state of the storage elements, generating a plan to transition to a target state of those storage elements, and application of the transition plan such that weights that are already stored in those storage elements can be reused and/or relocate. This lowers the bandwidth requirements for weight memory by allowing weights that have previously been read into the systolic array to be reused.
