Publication number: 20240112063Abstract: A method and system for estimating the ground state energy of a quantum Hamiltonian. The disclosed algorithm may run on any hardware and is suited for early fault tolerant quantum computers. The algorithm employs low-depth quantum circuits with one ancilla qubit with classical post-processing. The algorithm first draws samples from Hadamard tests in which the unitary is a controlled time evolution of the Hamiltonian. The samples are used for evaluating the convolution of the spectral measure and a filter function, and then inferring the ground state energy from this convolution. Quantum circuit depth is linear in the inverse spectral gap and poly-logarithmic in the inverse target accuracy and inverse initial overlap. Runtime is polynomial in the inverse spectral gap, inverse target accuracy, and inverse initial overlap. The algorithm produces a highly-accurate estimate of the ground state energy with reasonable runtime using low-depth quantum circuits.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Guoming Wang, Peter Douglas Johnson, Ruizhe Zhang, Daniel Stilck França, Shuchen Zhu

Patent number: 11937135Abstract: A delta configuration is signaled for handover of a wireless communication device (e.g., a user equipment, UE) from a first form of connectivity to a second form of connectivity. For example, a UE with master cell group (MCG) connectivity may be handed-over to multiple radio access technology-dual connectivity (MR-DC). In some examples, a UE with standalone (SA) connectivity may be handed-over to non-standalone (NSA) connectivity (e.g., dual connectivity). In conjunction with this handover the UE may be signaled as to whether the UE is to reuse a configuration from the first connectivity mode during the second connectivity mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Punyaslok Purkayastha, Ozcan Ozturk, Xipeng Zhu, Luis Fernando Brisson Lopes, Tom Chin, Daniel Amerga, Shailesh Maheshwari, Kurt Otte, Vanitha Aravamudhan Kumar

Patent number: 8706833Abstract: A data storage server is programmed with common software modules for management, version control, and scheduling of replication of data storage objects of multiple data storage object types. The multiple data storage object types include iSCSI LUNs, file systems, virtual servers, directories, and files. The version control determines if two data storage objects are the same or have a common base so that only a difference needs to be transmitted for replication or restoration. The scheduler controls the timing of snapshot creation and deletion, and replication transmission to one or more remote destinations. The scheduler may ensure that a replica of a data storage object is out-of-sync with the original of the data storage object by no more than a specified amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Milena Bergant, John M.

Patent number: 8248536Abstract: The invention provides techniques for separating luma and chroma signal components in a composite SECAM video signal. During reception, the SECAM video signal is split into luma and chroma output. The amplitude of the chroma carrier is monitored during reception. If the chroma carrier amplitude is greater than a threshold, the value of the chroma output can be reduced. Also, if the chroma carrier amplitude is greater than another threshold, a portion of the chroma carrier can be added to the luma; or the trap band of the band-trap filter for extracting luma from the composite video can be reduced. The respective amount of the reduction in the chroma output and the increase in the luma output are independently determined but both may proportional to the magnitude of the deviation in the chroma carrier amplitude from the different thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: ATI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dongsheng Wu, Robert B.

Patent number: 7769722Abstract: A data storage server is programmed for management, version control, and scheduling of replication of multiple types of data storage objects including iSCSI LUNs and file systems. The version control determines if two data storage objects are the same or have a common base so that only a difference needs to be transmitted for replication or restoration. A replication job may specify a “one-to-many” replication or a cascaded replication, and any snapshot retention policy is propagated during a cascaded replication. Concurrent replication sessions to the same destination are paced in accordance with respective allocation shares of the reception bandwidth. File handle information is replicated so that a file handle issued by a primary data storage server can be used for accessing a replicated file in a secondary data storage server.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Milena Bergant, John M.

Patent number: 7765187Abstract: Consistency errors may arise during replication of diverse data storage objects from servers in a data network. For preventing consistency errors, a server is programmed for responding to a request for a report of whether or not the server can replicate the dataset without causing a consistency error. Such a report is useful for replicating a consistency group of objects from more than one server. Preparation for replication can be begun at each of the servers, and if any of the servers fail to report that replication can be done without causing a consistency error, the preparation can be aborted so that write access by applications will not be disrupted while the potential problem is diagnosed and eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2005Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Milena Bergant, John M.
