Patent number: 12154005Abstract: The disclosure describes various aspects of optical control of atomic quantum bits (qubits) for phase control operations. More specifically, the disclosure describes methods for coherently controlling quantum phases on atomic qubits mediated by optical control fields, applying to quantum logic gates, and generalized interactions between qubits. Various attributes and settings of optical/qubit interactions (e.g., atomic energy structure, laser beam geometry, polarization, spectrum, phase, background magnetic field) are identified for imprinting and storing phase in qubits. The disclosure further describes how these control attributes are best matched in order to control and stabilize qubit interactions and allow extended phase-stable quantum gate sequences.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARKInventors: Christopher Monroe, Marko Cetina, Norbert Linke, Shantanu Debnath

Patent number: 8384768Abstract: It is customary to produce a three-dimensional image using a camera pair in order to ensure that people are isolated in a lock for separating people and to check that no more than one person at a time passes through the lock for separating people. It is an object of the invention to improve known systems and to accelerate them. To this end, a plurality of camera pairs are used according to the invention, which monitor a spatial volume which is to be monitored from several spatial directions at the same time. To this end, each camera pair monitors the space, determines a height profile and supplements shadowed points in the height profile with data of other camera pairs. Monitoring of a spatial volume, for example a passage lock.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Vitracom AGInventor: Norbert Link

Publication number: 20030184449Abstract: A docking system for airport terminals has a docking station subsystem and a docking station for each gate. The docking station subsystem is connected via a communication network to a central working position (control device). The docking station subsystem includes an airfield situation monitoring and processing segment ASMPS, at least one advisor and guidance display segment AGDS, a data and status handler segment DSHS having at least one video camera for each center line of the gate, and at least one ground operation panel segment GOPS. The docking station subsystem has an auxiliary subsystem connected to it, by which information relating to aircraft models and the gate can be entered in the docking station subsystem. A docking guidance system is connected to other systems of an airport and includes a docking guidance subsystem for each gate of the airport.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2003Publication date: October 2, 2003Applicant: SIEMENS AGInventors: Klaus Baumgartner, Martin Brennfleck, John Konerth, Norbert Link, Detlef Schnathmann
