Abstract: Apparatus and method for specifying quantum operation parallelism. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: instruction fetch circuitry to fetch a plurality of quantum instructions from a memory or a cache; slice-based instruction processing circuitry to identify quantum circuit slices comprising sets of one or more of the plurality of quantum instructions; and one or more instruction decoders to decode the quantum instructions to generate quantum microoperations; and quantum execution circuitry to execute sets of the quantum microoperations in parallel based on the quantum circuit slices.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for quantum drift compensation. For example, one embodiment of a quantum system comprises: a quantum processor comprising one or more data quantum bits (qubits) and one or more ancilla qubits; a quantum controller to control the qubits responsive to a quantum runtime; an error detector to detect errors in the qubits; a quantum drift compensator to determine a current system drift for the quantum processor based on the errors and to responsively generate a set of compensation values if the current system drift is determined to be above a threshold.

Abstract: Systems for delivering biological products are provided. The biological products may be delivered, for example, to a field. The systems may include a container (110, 210, 310) for holding the biological product. The systems may also include a fluid flow unit (120, 220, 320) configured to subject the biological product to flow from within the container along a fluid flow path (115, 215, 315). Methods of delivering biological products are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are quantum dot devices, as well as related computing devices and methods. For example, in some embodiments, a quantum dot device may include: a quantum well stack including a quantum well layer; and a plurality of gates above the quantum well stack, wherein the gates are arranged in a ladder arrangement including two rails having at least N gates each and at least one active rung, and a number of active rungs in the ladder arrangement is less than N.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for intelligently managing heating in a quantum processor. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises a quantum processor comprising a plurality of quantum bits (qbits); an arbiter to maintain an activity map data structure indicating heat values related to operation pulse energy directed at each of the plurality of qbits, the arbiter to generate a signal upon detecting a heat value exceeding a threshold for a first qbit or a first set of qbits; and a quantum scheduler to redirect one or more operations from the first qbit or first set of qbits to a second qbit or a second set of qbits in response to detecting the signal from the arbiter.

Abstract: A hairbrush comprising a set of bristles that are capable of being retracted into the outer wall to allow for the cleaning of debris from the brush. The handle and the head of the hairbrush rotate in opposite directions to allow the bristles of the hairbrush to be retracted into the outer wall to the point that the beaded ends are mated with the outer wall. Once the debris is removed, the handle and the head are rotated to the point where the bristles are in an extended position and then the handle and head are locked in this position by a locking mechanism.

Abstract: An adjustable wrapping device comprising a flexible sheet of a compressible elastomer affixed to a sheet of a reinforcing fabric to form a laminated sheet. The sheet of compressible elastomer has an upper and lower surface wherein at least one of the surfaces is textured. A colored fabric is preferably affixed to at least one peripheral edge of the laminated sheet. The adjustable wrapping device further includes means for releasably attaching an upper half portion of the laminated sheet to a lower opposing half portion of the laminated sheet to enable the device to be formed into a cylindrical structure of varying diameter. The device is operable for wrapping around the handle of luggage to provide a distinguishing color and ease of handling for luggage and the like.

Abstract: A locator device for a recreational throwing disc such as golf disc or Frisbee is disclosed. The locator device can be of a visual, aural or electromagnetic nature depending on such factors as the expense, size and weight limitations required by each.
