  • Patent number: 11842250
    Abstract: A quantum error correction (QEC) decoding system includes an error correction chip. The error correction chip is configured to: obtain error syndrome information of a quantum circuit; and decode the error syndrome information by running neural network decoders, to obtain error result information, a core operation of the neural network decoders being a multiply accumulate (MA) operation of unsigned fixed-point numbers obtained through numerical quantization. According to the present disclosure, for the system that uses the neural network decoders for QEC decoding, the core operation of the neural network decoders is the MA operation of unsigned fixed-point numbers obtained through numerical quantization, thereby minimizing the data volume and the calculation amount desirable by the neural network decoders, so as to better meet the requirement of real-time error correction.

  • Patent number: 11821314
    Abstract: An underground mining method for unexploited coal in a boundary open-pit mine is provided. A shaft construction platform is arranged at one rock step to two rock steps above a coal seam. Intermediate bridges are built starting from a pit bottom. Mining area clay is laid on a working slope where no intermediate bridge is built and on a side slope with an outcrop of the coal seam as a sealing layer to seal the slopes. Auxiliary vertical shafts and main inclined shafts are dug. The pit bottom is dug downward to form a digging space on a side close to the working slope between two adjacent ones of the intermediate bridges, and clay is filled into the digging space to form an artificial water barrier layer. A roadway communicating the main inclined shafts and the auxiliary vertical shafts is constructed, and a coal seam stope face is arranged.
