  • Publication number: 20230259673
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for estimating a solution to a problem represented by a Hamiltonian on a quantum computer having a quantum state. A classical computer determines a trial state and evolves the quantum state of the quantum computer based on the trial state. The computer then determines estimates for expectation values with respect to the trial state of powers of the Hamiltonian based on measurements from the quantum computer and calculates an estimate of the solution based on the estimates for the expectation values of powers of the Hamiltonian for the trial state. The computer then repeated updates the trial state and repeats the measuring steps to iteratively improve the estimate of the solution.

  • Patent number: 11726970
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for migrating data from a first database to a second database. The data is susceptible to change at the first database before all of the data is migrated to the second database and is available for access through the second database. The method transfers segments of data incrementally from the first database to the second database and generates a first digital signature for each transferred segment. The method identifies a set of transferred segments that have been modified in the first database before the data is available for access through the second database by generating a second digital signature for each transferred segment in the set and comparing the second digital signature for the segments with the first digital signature for the segments. The method transfers the modified segments from the first database to the second database in order to replace the previously transferred segments.

    Abstract: Techniques for calibrating cameras and displays are disclosed. An image of a target is captured using a camera. The target includes a tessellation having a repeated structure of tiles. The target further includes unique patterns superimposed onto the tessellation. Matrices are formed based on pixel intensities within the captured image. Each of the matrices includes values each corresponding to the pixel intensities within one of the tiles. The matrices are convolved with kernels to generate intensity maps. Each of the kernels is generated based on a corresponding unique pattern of the unique patterns. An extrema value is identified in each of the intensity maps. A location of each of the unique patterns within the image is determined based on the extrema value for each of the intensity maps. A device calibration is performed using the location of each of the unique patterns.
