  • Publication number: 20240086748
    Abstract: The systems, devices, articles, and methods described herein generally relate to analog computers, for example quantum processors comprising qubits, couplers, and, or cavities. Analog computers, for example quantum processor based computers, are the subject of various sources of error which can hinder operation, potentially reducing computational accuracy and speed. Sources of error can be broadly characterized, for example as i) a background susceptibility do to inherently characteristics of the circuitry design, ii) as an h/J ratio imbalance, iii) bit flip errors, iv) fidelity, and v) Anderson localization, and various combinations of the aforesaid.

  • Patent number: 11915319
    Abstract: During a communication session with a caller, a representative can enter information into a claim loss reporting tool to generate a loss report associated with an insurance claim. A dialogue advisor can cause the claim loss reporting tool to suggest questions that the representative should ask, and/or actions the representative should take, during the communication session. The dialogue advisor can make such suggestions, during the communication session, based at least in part on confidence levels of simulated destination predictions that correspond with destination predictions a claim router would make according to the same information associated with the loss report.

  • Patent number: 11895166
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamically converting a communication channel associated with a communication channel from a communication channel associated with a single organization to a shared communication channel associated with two or more organizations. The communication channel may have associated therewith member profiles associated with a first organization and one or more guest profiles associated with one or more other organizations that are different from the first organization. A server computing system may convert the communication channel to a shared communication channel based on a determination of eligibility for conversion. The server computing system may generate one or more user interfaces associated with the member profiles and the one or more guest profiles, enabling members and guests to communicate via the shared communication channel.

  • Patent number: 11881959
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program product that may include receiving, by one or more servers of a group-based communication platform and from a client of a first user with administrative privileges and associated with a first organization, a request to generate a shared communication channel on the group-based communication platform. A shared communication channel may be generated based on the request. A second request may be received by the one or more servers to provide at least one second user associated with a second organization access to the shared communication channel. Access may be provided to the second user. A message communication may be rendered in a shared communication channel interface associated with the shared communication channel with a graphical indicator that indicates the message communication is associated with the first organization.
