Abstract: Embodiments directed to designing corrective control signals are described. When implemented to drive a quantum operation, such corrective control signals can implement quantum gates that are insensitive to different noise types associated with the quantum operation. In one example, a method can include deriving noise cancellation conditions that are to be satisfied to define a corrective control signal that cancels different noise types associated with performing a quantum operation when the corrective control signal is used to drive the quantum operation. The method can further include constructing a space curve that satisfies the noise cancellation conditions in a multidimensional space. The space curve can be representative of the corrective control signal. The method can further include defining the corrective control signal based on the space curve.

Abstract: Aspects of generating error-resistant quantum control pulses from geometrical curves are described. In some embodiments, a closed space curve is parameterized for a target gate operation of a quantum computing device. The closed space curve corresponds to an evolution operator of a time-dependent Schrödinger equation associated with the target gate operation. A control field definition is identified for the target gate operation based at least in part on a geometrical analysis of the evolution operator of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The target gate operation is implemented for the quantum computing device based on the control field definition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of optimizing the provisioning of a bootable image onto a storage device. In some embodiments, a host device executes a provisioning application to image a storage drive as a bootable drive. During the provisioning process, the storage device is configured to disguise its use of write caching during the provisioning process. In one embodiment, the storage device is configured to suppress forced unit access commands and cache flush commands for the provisioning application. In another embodiment, the storage device is configured to reject forced unit access commands. The storage device may disguise its use of write caching based on various criteria, such as a length of time, a counter, and the like.
