  • Patent number: 11429887
    Abstract: One example includes a tunable current-mirror qubit. The qubit includes a plurality of flux tunable elements disposed in a circuit loop. A first portion of the flux tunable elements can be configured to receive a first input flux and a remaining portion of the flux tunable elements can be configured to receive a second input flux to control a mode of the tunable current-mirror qubit between a microwave excitation mode to facilitate excitation or quantum state manipulation of the tunable current-mirror qubit via a microwave input signal and a noise-protected mode to facilitate storage of the quantum state of the tunable current-mirror qubit. The qubit also includes at least one capacitor interconnecting nodes between respective pairs of the flux tunable elements to facilitate formation of Cooper-pair excitons in each of the microwave excitation mode and the noise-protected mode.

  • Publication number: 20140048543
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical tank comprising a tank body and a tank mouth. The tank body includes a tank body part, a tank top and a tank bottom. The tank mouth arranged on the tank top includes a mouth body and a joint part. A stamping fastening structure for connecting the joint part and the tank body is arranged therebetween. Further, a positioning structure is disposed at the junction of the joint part and the tank body. A pressure-proof protective structure located in the joint part and the tank top is provided on the periphery of the stamping fastening structure. Herein, the positioning structure acts to enhance the positioning effect. Besides, the pressure-proof protective structure plays a role of pressure-proof protection. The tank mouth and the tank top are produced by stamping fastening, thus achieving high production efficiency, low cost and high strength.
