  • Publication number: 20230244451
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for a multi-source true random number generator (TRNG) are disclosed. A set of values is generated from each of the sources of randomness and an extractor is applied each of the set of values to produce a set of random values from each source.

  • Patent number: 11657313
    Abstract: Embodiments of quantum ring oscillator-based coherence preservation circuits including a cascaded set of stages are described. Embodiments of such quantum ring oscillator-based coherence preservation circuits allow the internal (superpositioned) quantum state information of stored qubits to be preserved over long periods of time and present options for the measurement and potential correction of both deterministic and non-deterministic errors without disturbing the quantum information stored in the structure itself.

  • Patent number: 11586737
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes retrieving data from multiple sensors in a computing device, and the multiple sensors comprise different types of sensors. The sensor data is analyzed based on a predictive model, and the predictive model is trained to detect malware. Initiation of malware is determined based on the analysis. In response to the determination, the malware is terminated.

  • Publication number: 20220376934
    Abstract: Embodiments of PUF systems are disclosed. Embodiments of such PUFs may be operated in the classical domain or the quantum domain, and moreover, may comprise substantially the same circuitry, and operate substantially the same, when operating in the classical domain or the quantum domain. Additionally, embodiments of such PUF systems may be effectively utilized to generate uniquely identifying signatures for electronic devices based on electronic circuity, photonic circuitry or some combination of electronic and photonic circuitry and may be utilized to generate such signatures for such electronic devices regardless of whether such electronic device themselves operate in the classical or quantum domain.

  • Patent number: 11397083
    Abstract: Gyroscope data can be used to generate upsampled signal. Multiple mobile devices are spaced apart from each other in a spatial arrangement. Each mobile device includes a gyroscope sensor to detect mechanical vibrations caused by signals originating within a vicinity of a mobile device that includes the gyroscope sensor. Each mobile device includes one or more respective processors to receive representations of the mechanical vibrations sensed by the gyroscope sensor at a sampling frequency, and transmit the representations received at the sampling frequency as a respective vibration signal associated with sampling times. The signal processor is coupled to the multiple mobile devices. The signal processor generates a processed upsampled signal by interleaving the vibration signal received from each mobile device and processing the interleaved signal using one or more machine learning filters, and transmitting the processed upsampled signal.

  • Patent number: 11080614
    Abstract: Embodiments of feedback-based quantum circuits are described. Embodiments of such quantum circuits may be externally controlled using only basis or eigenstate (classically-observable) signals without triggering de-coherence. Additionally, embodiments of such quantum circuits allow the internal (superpositioned) quantum state information to be preserved over long periods of time and present options for quantum error-correction due to the basis-state controls. Moreover, a coupling of two such feedback-based quantum circuits allows for quantum-channel-based information exchange to a variety of ends.
