  • Patent number: 12020563
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for an autonomous vehicle and cloud control system comprising an autonomous vehicle (AV) control system and a cloud-based platform, which are two components of an Intelligent Road Infrastructure System (IRIS). This integrated vehicle-cloud system provides sensing, prediction, decision-making, and control instructions for specific vehicles at a microscopic level. Specifically, through the system, AVs can be effectively and efficiently controlled by AV itself and/or by the cloud. The AV and cloud control system provides individual vehicles with detailed time-sensitive control instructions for vehicles to fulfill driving tasks. In addition, the cloud-based platform is configured to predict behavior of individual vehicles and provide planning and decision making at a microscopic level from 1 to 10 milliseconds, which is critical for AV operations.

  • Patent number: 12020122
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for mitigating errors in measurements from a quantum system. A discriminator is trained to classify the measurement results of the quantum states of qubits as corresponding to a first quantum state (e.g., quantum state of 0) or a second quantum state (e.g., quantum state of 1). A first region of trust (corresponding to trusted measurements of a first quantum state) with a first discriminator boundary and a second region of trust (corresponding to trusted measurements of a second quantum state) with a second discriminator boundary are defined using the trained discriminator. If a shot-to-shot measurement result of a qubit state falls outside such regions of trust, the measurement result is rejected. In this manner, measurement errors from a quantum system are effectively mitigated, including measurement errors involving shot-to-shot measurement results of the quantum states read from the execution of the quantum circuits.

  • Patent number: 12020195
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating interactive reports, a computing device implements a report system to receive input data describing a dataset and an analytics report for the dataset that depicts a result of performing analytics on the dataset. The report system generates a declarative specification that describes the analytics report in a language that encodes data as properties of graphic objects. Editing data is received describing a user input specifying a modification to the analytics report. The report system modifies the declarative specification using the language that encodes data as properties of graphic objects based on the user input and the dataset. An interactive report is generated based on the modified declarative specification that includes the analytics report having the modification.
