  • Qubit circuits with deep, in-substrate components
    Patent number: 11699091
    Abstract: Qubit circuits having components formed deep in a substrate are described. The qubit circuits can be manufactured using existing integrated-circuit technologies. By forming components such as superconducting current loops, inductive, and/or capacitive components deep in the substrate, the footprint of the qubit circuit integrated within the substrate can be reduced. Additionally, coupling efficiency to and from the qubit can be improved and losses in the qubit circuit may be reduced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 4, 2021
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2023
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Wayne Woods, Danna Rosenberg, Cyrus Hirjibehedin, Donna-Ruth Yost, Justin Mallek, Andrew Kerman, Mollie Schwartz, Jonilyn Yoder, William Oliver, Thomas Hazard

  • Secure life vest container
    Patent number: 7252569
    Abstract: A life vest container includes a hollow housing defining a storage volume adapted to receive a flotation device, the housing having an opening communicating with the storage volume. A cover is attached to the container and is moveable between a closed position in which it encloses the opening, and an open position in which the opening is accessible. Structure is provided for attaching the housing to a passenger seat, and for securing the cover in the closed position. At least a portion of the housing or the cover is sufficiently light-transmissive to allow observation of the condition of a flotation device disposed within the storage volume.
