Abstract: A quantum contextual measurement is generated from a quantum device capable of performing continuous time evolution, by generating a first measurement result and a second measurement result and combining the first measurement result and the second measurement result to generate the quantum contextual measurement. The first measurement result may be generated by initializing the quantum device to a first initial quantum state, applying a first continuous time evolution to the first initial state to generate a first evolved state, and measuring the first evolved state to generate the first measurement result. A similar process may be applied to generate a second evolved state which is at least approximately equal to the first evolved state, and then applying another continuous time evolution to the second evolved state to generate a third evolved state, and measuring the third evolved state to generate the second measurement result.

Abstract: Method and agent network architecture for processing a subject message, where each agent has a view of its own domain of responsibility. An initiator agent which receives a user-input request and does not itself have a relevant interpretation policy, queries its downchain agents whether the queried agent considers such message to be in its domain of responsibility. Each queried agent recursively determines whether it has an interpretation policy of its own that applies to the request, and if not, further queries its own further downchain neighboring agents. The further agents eventually respond to such further queries, thereby allowing the first-queried agents to respond to the initiator agent. The recursive invocation of this procedure ultimately determines one or more paths through the network from the initiator agent to one more more leaf agents.

Abstract: Embodiments of this invention include application of new inferential methods to analysis of complex biological information, including gene networks. In some embodiments, disruptant data and/or drug induction/inhibition data are obtained simultaneously for a number of genes in an organism. New methods include modifications of Boolean inferential methods and application of those methods to determining relationships between expressed genes in organisms. Additional new methods include modifications of Bayesian inferential methods and application of those methods to determining cause and effect relationships between expressed genes, and in some embodiments, for determining upstream effectors of regulated genes. Additional modifications of Bayesian methods include use of heterogeneous variance and different curve fitting methods, including spline functions, to improve estimation of graphs of networks of expressed genes.
