Abstract: A computing system including one or more classical binary computers coupled to one or more quantum computers. The computing system is configured to process the one or more computing tasks including at least one combinatorial optimization task using a Filtering Variational Quantum Eigensolver (F-VQE) algorithm implemented by using one or more Ansätze circuits and a cost function arrangement to generate one or more quantum circuits in the quantum computer. The computing system iteratively applies a filtering operator to a cost function arrangement to generate a corresponding filtered cost function arrangement that excludes energy states that exceed an energy threshold and uses the filtered cost function arrangement in the one or more quantum circuits to generate output results.

Abstract: A voltage regulator is described for use in a television receiver having a horizontal oscillator for exciting a horizontal sweep system and a power source for energizing the receiver. In a receiver which also includes a voltage source derived from the excited sweep system, the regulator preferably includes an input port for receiving current from the power source and a circuit responsive to that current for initially energizing the horizontal oscillator so that the sweep system becomes excited. The regulator also includes an input/output port for receiving current from the sweep-derived voltage source and an on/off switch which is turned on responsive to the input/output port being driven above a minimum voltage level. The "on" condition of the switch enables a series pass regulator for coupling current from the input port to the input/output port such that the latter port is held at a regulated voltage level.
