  • Publication number: 20240265386
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to update sub-ledgers of a capacity plan based on exchange types. One system includes a communication network interface, a memory, and one or more processors. The memory to store a ledger to broadcast exchanges associated with the capacity plan, the ledger comprising sub-ledgers and priority values for the sub-ledgers. Each exchange of the ledger is broadcasted within a sub-ledger of the sub-ledgers and has a stored association with a type of exchange and an exchange value. The one or more processors receive a request to update the capacity plan. The one or more processors allocate a portion of a value to one or more sub-ledgers according to the priority values of the sub-ledgers. The one or more processors update the exchange values of the exchanges broadcasted in the sub-ledger with the portion of the value based on the types of exchange.

  • Publication number: 20240256524
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to calculate an update characteristic value for a capacity plan having multiple sub-ledgers. One system can include a communication network interface, a memory, and one or more processors. The memory can store a ledger to broadcast exchanges associated with the capacity plan. The one or more processors can identify a predetermined capacity plan characteristic value indicating a minimum update per cycle value for the capacity plan or a time period for completion of an update of a value of the capacity plan to zero. The one or more processors can calculate an update characteristic value for updating the value of the capacity plan to zero. The one or more processors can transmit, via the communication network interface, a record comprising the update characteristic value.

  • Patent number: 12050966
    Abstract: An array of quantum dot qubits (e.g., an array of spin qubits) relies on a gradient magnetic field to ensure that the qubits are separated in frequency in order to be individually addressable. Furthermore, a strong magnetic field gradient is required to electrically drive the electric dipole spin resonance (EDSR) of the qubits. Quantum dot devices disclosed herein use microcoil arrangements for providing a gradient magnetic field, the microcoil arrangements integrated on the same chip (e.g., on the same die or wafer) as quantum dot qubits themselves. Unlike previous approaches to quantum dot formation and manipulation, various embodiments of the quantum dot devices disclosed herein may enable improved control over magnetic fields and their gradients to realize better frequency targeting of individual qubits, help minimize adverse effects of charge noise on qubit decoherence and provide good scalability in the number of quantum dots included in the device.

  • Publication number: 20240152210
    Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying a representation of a piece of music, detects a first input event at a location corresponding to the representation of the piece of music, and in response, provides tactile feedback that corresponds to at least a subset of beats of the piece of music. Subsequently, in response to detecting a second input event at the location corresponding to the representation of the piece of music, the electronic device ceases to provide the tactile feedback that corresponds to the beats of the piece of music.
