  • Patent number: 11809959
    Abstract: In this disclosure, quantum algorithms are presented for simulating Hamiltonian time-evolution e?i(A+B)t in the interaction picture of quantum mechanics on a quantum computer. The interaction picture is a known analytical tool for separating dynamical effects due to trivial free-evolution A from those due to interactions B. This is especially useful when the energy-scale of the trivial component is dominant, but of little interest. Whereas state-of-art simulation algorithms scale with the energy ?A+B???A?+?B? of the full Hamiltonian, embodiments of the disclosed approach generally scale linearly with the sum of the Hamiltonian coefficients from the low-energy component B and poly-logarithmically with those from A.

  • Patent number: 11640549
    Abstract: Methods for preparing a Gibbs state in a qubit register of a quantum computer include applying one or more quantum gates to one or more qubits of the qubit register to prepare a trial quantum state spanning the one or more qubits, the trial quantum state being defined as a function of parameters {right arrow over (?)} and being selected to provide an initial estimate of the Gibbs state. The methods further include evaluating the Gibbs free energy of the trial quantum state, adjusting the parameters {right arrow over (?)}, re-applying the one or more quantum gates to the one or more qubits to refine the trial quantum state according to the parameters {right arrow over (?)} as adjusted, and re-evaluating the Gibbs free energy of the trial quantum state.

  • Publication number: 20230119066
    Abstract: This disclosure provides isolated antibodies, for example, monoclonal antibodies, that specifically bind to the C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 8 (CCR8) expressed on the surface of a cell and mediate depletion of the CCR8-expressing cell by anti-body-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The disclosure provides methods for treating a subject afflicted with a cancer comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-CCR8 antibody as monotherapy or in combination with an anti-cancer agent such as an immune checkpoint inhibitor, for example, an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody.

  • Publication number: 20230021736
    Abstract: Techniques to generate experiment trials using artificial intelligence are disclosed. A training set for an experiment generator is continuously built up by using assessed experiment trials. The experiment generator is optimized using one of a plurality of optimization algorithms, depending on which mode experiment generator is to run in for an experiment. The mode is dependent on the experiment mode of the experiment. The experiment generator generates a batch of one or more experiment trials for the experiment. Any of the generated experiment trials may be tried or experimented by a user and may be updated with assessment data as an assessed experiment trial.

  • Publication number: 20220406417
    Abstract: Techniques to suggest alternative chemical compounds that can be used to recreate or mimic a target flavor using artificial intelligence are disclosed. A neural network based model is trained on source chemical compounds and their corresponding flavors and odors. The neural network-based model learns compound embeddings of the source chemical compounds and a target chemical compound of a food item. From the compound embeddings, one or more chemical compounds that are closest to the target chemical compound may be determined by a distance metric. Each suggested chemical compound is an alternative that can be used to recreate functional features of the target chemical compound.

A second device in the plurality of devices receives a satellite transmission identifying a location of the second device. The method includes confirming, by a notification engine executed by a third device in the plurality of devices in the mesh network, receipt of both the satellite transmission and alert data encoded in the terrestrial broadcast signal. The method includes activating, by the notification engine, at least one alert module in the mesh network, upon confirmation of the receipt of both the satellite transmission and the alert data encoded in the terrestrial broadcast signal.

  • Publication number: 20220195046
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof or an anti-PD-L1 antibody or anti-gen-binding portion thereof, wherein the subject is identified as having a high inflammatory gene signature score and a tumor that has a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) status. In some embodiments, the high inflammatory gene signature score is determined by measuring the expression of a panel of inflammatory genes in a tumor sample obtained from the subject, wherein the inflammatory gene panel comprises CD274 (PD-L1), CD8A, LAG3, and STAT1.
