  • Patent number: 11977956
    Abstract: In a general aspect, calibration is performed in a quantum computing system. In some cases, domains of a quantum computing system are identified, where the domains include respective domain control subsystems and respective subsets of quantum circuit devices in a quantum processor of the quantum computing system. Sets of measurements are obtained from one of the domains and stored in memory. Device characteristics of the quantum circuit devices of the domain are obtained based on the set of measurements, and the device characteristics are stored in a memory of the control system. Quantum logic control parameters for the subset of quantum circuit devices of the domain are obtained based on the set of measurements and stored in memory.

  • Publication number: 20150209637
    Abstract: A golf ball putting game adapted for competitive indoor use by several players utilizes a portable elongated track positioned on a flat area, together with a conventional golf putter and balls. The track is fabricated of a material which can be easily rolled up for storage and unrolled for play and that has a surface texture suitable for putting golf balls. To begin play, one player putts a ball from a tee end to a far end of the track, followed in order by the remaining players. That order of play is repeated until each player has putted a selected number of balls to complete a round of play. The player who best ball lies closest to the terminal end of the track, within a playing area, wins that round and is awarded one point. A number of subsequent rounds are similarly played and scored to complete a game to determine a winner having the highest number of awarded points.
