  • Publication number: 20250181952
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a structure for a qubit architecture is presented. The structure may include a plurality of qubits. The structure may include a plurality of couplings between each qubits. The couplings are arranged based on a relationship between each qubit and its placement on a torus. The coupling for each qubit comprises coupling to four nearest neighbor qubits on the torus and coupling to two cross-coupled qubits based on a definition and a set of parameters of a bivariate bicycle code. Methods for using and manufacturing the qubit architecture are additionally presented.

  • Patent number: 12182146
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a user enters a search term (or a portion thereof) in a search field associated with one or more resource types that may be searched. The user may be presented with a pop-up menu containing a list of likely matches. The user selects the desired preference control from the pop-up menu, and the corresponding preference pane, or other container, containing the selected data item, control, or other resource is displayed. In one aspect, as the user enters the search term (or portion thereof), certain icons are highlighted. Specifically, those icons that represent containers containing matching data items (such as preference panes having controls that match the search term) are highlighted. Different types of highlighting can be used depending on the degree of certainty as to which container is likely to contain the correct match.

  • Patent number: 11900011
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable medium for providing an audio file interface. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes, while playing an audio file on a mobile device and displaying a current view in a user interface of the mobile device, receiving first user input requesting that an audio interface be displayed, and displaying the audio interface as an overlay in the user interface, where the audio interface includes information associated with the audio file.

  • Patent number: 11687148
    Abstract: A system and method for supporting an interconnection of processor cores, each core with functional state monitors for monitoring operations of each processor core, the processor cores interconnected using a resistive network connected between two-terminal regions being embedded in the resistive network such that each terminal of a region may be connected by controllable resistors to one or both fixed rails or by controllable resistors to one or more intermediate nodes. The resistor values are configurable to provide indirect control of the voltages across each two-terminal region, allowing full dynamic control of voltages of the two-terminal regions in a range up to the full voltage between the two voltage rails, and where a management unit accesses the functional state monitors and controls the resistor values. Feedback from functional state monitors allow the operating frequency to extend down to arbitrarily low values and up to the limits imposed by the technology.

  • Patent number: 10891020
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. A method includes receiving, a first user input requesting that a backup interface be displayed, displaying the backup interface, the backup interface including a display area for presenting at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of a current view and a visual representation of the current view, the earlier version including a first element, receiving, while the backup interface is displayed, a second user input requesting that the current view be modified according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element, animating the modification of the first element as moving from the visual representation of the earlier version to the visual representation of the current view, and modifying, in response to the second user input, the current view according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element.
