  • Patent number: 11681322
    Abstract: The disclosure describes an adaptive and optimal imaging of individual quantum emitters within a lattice or optical field of view for quantum computing. Advanced image processing techniques are described to identify individual optically active quantum bits (qubits) with an imager. Images of individual and optically-resolved quantum emitters fluorescing as a lattice are decomposed and recognized based on fluorescence. Expected spatial distributions of the quantum emitters guides the processing, which uses adaptive fitting of peak distribution functions to determine the number of quantum emitters in real time. These techniques can be used for the loading process, where atoms or ions enter the trap one-by-one, for the identification of solid-state emitters, and for internal state-detection of the quantum emitters, where each emitter can be fluorescent or dark depending on its internal state.

  • Patent number: 11643105
    Abstract: A system of creating a simulation scenario definition to simulate behavior of an autonomous vehicle includes a computing device and a computer-readable storage medium having one or more programming instructions. The system identifies an event on which a simulation scenario definition is to be based, identifies one or more log files associated with the event, parses the one or more log files in a time-sequential order and populates the simulation scenario definition with information from the identified log files until an event trigger is detected, identifies an actor from one or more of the log files, infer a shape of the actor, generates one or more simulated tracks that includes the inferred shape for the actor, and adds the simulated tracks to the simulation scenario definition.

  • Patent number: 11624769
    Abstract: A field effect transistor (FET) engager, for example, includes electrically coupling a gate driver to a gate of a FET for testing the FET. The FET engager further includes providing a probe pad for test instrument measurement of the FET without test instrument capacitance impacting operation of the FET. The FET engager can electrically couple to the gate of the FET hold the gate of the FET at a low voltage while the source and drains are stress tested. The FET engager provides fail-safe mechanisms against accidental turn-on of the FET during operation. The FET engager can provide a second probe pad for selective test instrument turn-on of a second FET. The FET engager can allow test instrument measurement of gate current of the FET without test instrument capacitance impacting operation of the FET.

  • Publication number: 20230100328
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are improved address prediction and memory preloading that leverages next-delta prediction and/or far-delta prediction for scheduling using a DNN. Previous memory access sequence data that identify one or more memory addresses previously accessed by one or more processors of a system may be processed and then converted into a sequence of delta values. The sequence of delta values are then mapped to one or more classes that are then input to a DNN. The DNN then outputs a predicted future class identifier sequence that represents addresses that the DNN predicts will be accessed by the processor in the future. The predicted future class identifier sequence is then converted back to a predicted delta value sequence and back into a set of one or more predicted addresses.

  • Publication number: 20230101310
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory devices, and machine-readable mediums which store a single compressed value per line with a marker value in a front of the compressed version of the memory line. In some examples, the only value stored in the memory line is the value normally stored therein. This removes the complexity of the prediction tables and the inclusion of invalid values as well as preventing the penalty when those prediction tables are wrong. Furthermore, by inclusion of the marker in the beginning of the memory line, the system can quickly determine the compression status of the memory line without having to read the entire line. That is, it can quickly stop reading the rest of the memory line once the compressed data is read out which saves the memory device from having to read the entire line.
