Abstract: A method, system, and product for performance analysis of quantum programs. A quantum program comprises plurality of code artifacts and is compilable into a quantum circuit. A representation of the quantum circuit that implements the quantum program is obtained. The quantum circuit manipulates a plurality of qubits over a plurality of cycles using a plurality of quantum gates. The representation of the quantum circuit includes circuit components. A performance measurement of a code artifact of the quantum program is automatically computed based on one or more circuit components that are mapped to the code artifact by a component to code mapping. The component to code mapping maps circuit components of the representation to the quantum circuit to respective code artifacts of the quantum program.

Abstract: Devices and methods for substantially reducing the caloric efficiency of the digestive tract by capturing food being digested in the stomach 10 and/or anywhere else in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, absorbing or encapsulating the captured food into multiple capturing members and moving such multiple capturing members containing the ingestible encapsulated food down the GI tract, practically out of reach of the GI absorption organs, thus excluding the entrapped ingredients from being involved in the digestion and\or absorption process. The device is designed for oral delivery. The system can be comprised of liquid, food bars or a capsule system. The capsule system is comprised of an external capsule that dissolves in accordance with a temporal or ph dependent preset, which allows the food intake to be at least partially fluidic. The capsule system is further comprised of a mechanism designed to capture and isolate a portion of the food being digested.

Abstract: A method, an application launcher, an operating system and a portable multifunction device, in which a long touch of a touch-sensitive display causes the portable multifunction device to (a) briefly vibrate, thereby signaling to the user that the continuous touch has been recognized by the portable multifunction device, and (b) perform an action in a GUI of the portable multifunction device, based on a location of the long touch.
