  • Publication number: 20250350106
    Abstract: A high voltage cable cleat supports cables on a surface. The high voltage cable cleat includes a roller with a main body, a first end, and a second end. A roller axle is positioned within the roller. The roller axle extends beyond the first end and the second end of the roller. A roller mount receives the roller axle and supports the roller thereon. Lower clamps are rotatably mounted onto the roller axle. Upper clamps are secured to the lower clamps over the cables positioned thereon to form the high voltage cable cleat.

  • Publication number: 20250036999
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a quantum circuit for quantum approximate optimisation over permutations of a set of elements. Encoding logic encodes each of the elements into multiple quantum registers as a binary number to represent a permutation of the set of elements by storing the binary number of each of the elements in an order according to the permutation. A network of multi-qubit quantum exponential swap operations operates between the multiple qubits of two registers and generates a superposition of two permutations by generating a superposition of two binary numbers by generating a superposition of the multiple qubits of the two quantum registers. An evaluation quantum circuit represents a problem Hamiltonian and distinguishes quantum states of the superposition generated by the network. The network and the evaluation quantum circuit amplify desirable quantum states and suppress undesirable quantum states to optimise over the permutations.
