Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for multi-cloud network verification using quantum machine learning. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining, by a classical computer, network data from the network, wherein the network data comprises network monitoring data and network configuration data; processing, by the classical computer, the network data to generate data that represents invariant properties of the network; processing, by the classical computer, the network data to generate a multi-layer graph model of the network; processing, by a quantum computer, the data that represents invariant properties of the network and the multi-layer graph model of the network using a quantum machine learning decision engine to select one or more network verification mechanisms for the network; and initiating a live check of the network using the verification mechanisms to validate the network.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a body with first and second end sections, a mid-section disposed between the first and second end sections. The mid-section is radially larger than each of the first and second end sections and includes an outer surface. A transition shoulder is disposed between the first end section and the mid-section. The transition shoulder includes a face wall extending between the outer surface of the mid-section and an outer surface of the first end section. A plurality of radial indicator ribs extend from the outer surface of the mid-section. Each of the radial indicator ribs includes an abutment surface laterally offset from the face wall of the transition shoulder to abut or almost abut a portion of a mating electrical connector.
