Abstract: Methods and systems to assess clogging associated with a first well perform steps in order. A first well in maintained a quiescent state for a period of time. Water is not pumped from the first well in the quiescent state. A pump attached to the first well is turned to an ON state. Water is pumped from the first well during the ON state. A water sample is received from the first well during the ON state. The water sample is collected during a time period corresponding to a surge in mobile particles. A first concentration of mobile particles is determined during the surge. The first concentration of mobile particles is analyzed for clogging specific information related to a state of clogging associated with the first well.

Abstract: Methods and systems are used to estimate specific capacity of a first well where the steps are performed in order. At least two depth to water measurements are made along with a corresponding time of occurrence for each of the at least two depth to water measurements. The measurements occur during a start-up transient of the first well after the first well has been maintained in a quiescent state for a first period of time. An extrapolated depth to water is estimated at an extrapolated pumping time using a mathematical model. Inputs to the mathematical model are derived from the at least two depth to water measurements. A first specific capacity estimate is created for the first well using the extrapolated depth to water estimate and a fixed pumping rate.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method performed during an execution of a quantum algorithm, via a quantum computing system (QCS) that includes a set of qubits and a set of classical processor devices. The quantum algorithm includes a quantum error correction (QEC) code that includes a set of qubit measurements over the set of qubits. Prior to the execution of the QA, the classical processor devices generate a matching graph (MG). During the execution of the quantum algorithm, the following operations are interleaved. A current subset of qubit measurements is performed. The qubit measurements are based on the QEC code. The classical processor devices update the MG based on values of the current subset of qubit measurements. The set of classical processor devices decodes one or more qubit errors based on the updated MG.

Abstract: Methods and systems to assess clogging from bacteria associated with a first well are disclosed. The first well is maintained in a quiescent state for a first period of time. Water is not pumped from the first well in the quiescent state. A pump attached to the first well is turned to an ON state. Water is pumped from the first well during the ON state.

Abstract: Apparatuses and method to reduce a pore-water pressure of water within a subsurface formation below a first pressure, include creating a pressure discontinuity in a well for a first period of time. The pressure discontinuity is created using ambient ground water pressure. A ground water flow regulating device (GFRD) is used to create the pressure discontinuity such that the GFRD restricts ground water flow through the well, which causes a pressure below the GFRD to increase. A flow of ground water is released through the well casing after the first period of time under natural ground water pressure. The GFRD releases the flow of the ground water and the pore-water pressure decreases to a second pressure after the ground water is released and the second pressure is less than the first pressure, wherein a first purge cycle is accomplished.

Abstract: The correction of errors in the transport and processing of qubits makes use of logical qubits made up of a plurality of physical qubits. The process takes place on a spatial array of physical qubit sites arranged with a quasi-2-dimensional topology having a first line of physical qubit sites and second line of physical qubit sites, where the first and second lines are arranged in parallel, with the sites of the first line in registration with corresponding sites in the second line. Between the first and second lines of physical qubit sites are a plurality of logic function gates, each comprised of a first physical qubit gate site associated with a first physical qubit site in the first line, and a second physical qubit gate site associated with the physical qubit site in the second line that corresponds to the first physical qubit site.
