Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum logic gate is performed in a quantum computing system. In some cases, a pair of qubits are defined in a quantum processor; the pair of qubits can include a first qubit defined by a first qubit device in the quantum processor and a second qubit defined by a tunable qubit device in the quantum processor. A quantum logic gate can be applied to the pair of qubits by communicating a control signal to a control line coupled to the tunable qubit device. The control signal can be configured to modulate a transition frequency of the tunable qubit device at a modulation frequency, and the modulation frequency can be determined based on a transition frequency of the first qubit device.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for selecting, curating, normalizing, enriching, and synthesizing the results of user experience tests. In some embodiments, a system identifies a qualitative element within a result set for a user experience test. The system then selects a machine learning model to apply based on one or more attributes associated with the user experience test and generates a predicted visibility, quality, and/or relevance for the qualitative element. Based on the prediction, the system generates a user interface that curates a set of results of the user experience test.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses, in one arrangement, a scintillator material made of a metal halide with one or more additional group-13 elements. An example of such a compound is Ce:LaBr3 with thallium (Tl) added, either as a codopant or in a stoichiometric admixture and/or solid solution between LaBr3 and TlBr. In another arrangement, the above single crystalline iodide scintillator material can be made by first synthesizing a compound of the above composition and then forming a single crystal from the synthesized compound by, for example, the Vertical Gradient Freeze method. Applications of the scintillator materials include radiation detectors and their use in medical and security imaging.

Abstract: A client device receives a challenge request from a server to prove that internet traffic was initiated by a human user through verifying a physical interaction between a human user and a hardware component. The client device causes a prompt to be displayed to perform the physical interaction with the hardware component. A cryptographic attestation is received that includes an attestation signature that is generated after confirmation that the physical interaction was performed with the hardware component. A zero-knowledge proof of the attestation signature is generated and transmitted to the server for verification. The client device receives the requested content responsive to the server verifying the validity of the zero-knowledge proof.
