  • Publication number: 20230117781
    Abstract: A technology for generating an optimization function for solving a combinatorial optimization problem, which can be expressed by using fewer quantum bytes is provided. An optimization function generation apparatus includes an input setting unit that sets an input of a combinatorial optimization problem, and an optimization function generation unit that generates an optimization function for solving the combinatorial optimization problem using the input, in which N is an integer equal to or greater than 1, Idx={0, . . . , N?1} is a set of indexes indicating N states, and i satisfies i ? Idx, and the optimization function generation unit generates an optimization function using a quantum byte obtained by performing encoding so that digits when an index i is expressed as a binary number each match a corresponding quantum bit included in a quantum byte that is a sequence of log2N quantum bits.

  • Publication number: 20230037432
    Abstract: A classification unit causes each of a plurality of classifiers trained to classify data of a corresponding class into one of two values through qSVM to classify data for prediction. Further, the calculation unit calculates the energy of the classification result of the data for prediction for each of the plurality of classifiers. Further, the determination unit determines a class of the data for prediction based on the classification result of the classification unit and the energy calculated by the calculation unit.

  • Patent number: 11350879
    Abstract: A wearable device attached to a subject includes an accelerometer that measures acceleration information, and a biological sensor that measures biological signal information of the subject. From the measured acceleration information and biological signal information, first feature data corresponding to a first predetermined period and second feature data corresponding to a second predetermined period are extracted. By machine learning based on the first feature data, a dynamic/static activity identification model, a dynamic-activity identification model, and a static-activity identification model, for the subject, are generated. By combination of results of determination based on each of the identification models, a posture and an activity of the subject are identified, and correspondence information, which associates the identified posture and activity with the biological signal information of the subject, is generated.
