Abstract: In a described embodiment, a hybrid quantum-classical computing method including receiving time dependent input data of a dynamical system, transforming a first element of the input data using a plurality of transformation matrices to obtain a set of transformed data, and encoding the transformed data into a quantum circuit by performing a first set of quantum operations is implemented. The quantum circuit includes a plurality of layers, wherein the layers include data encoding layers, feedback layers, and a random transformation layer is implemented. Encoding a measurement feedback from a previous measurement vector into the quantum circuit is implemented by performing a second set of quantum operations. The quantum circuit operates to generate an updated measurement vector and a reservoir state is generated based on the updated measurement vector, a previous reservoir state vector and the input data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technology for sending near real time transaction notifications to user devices of users of a payment service. Data associated with one or more financial accounts of a user and one or more user devices of the user is stored in a database associated with the payment service. The payment service receives transaction information and determines it is associated with a transaction involving a financial account of the user. The payment service generates a notification associated with the transaction, including at least a payment amount. The payment service causes presentation of the notification, in near real time, via at least one user device of the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique for applying rewards points is disclosed. A computer system of a payment service receives a request to transfer an amount of funds from a first user's account to a second user's account. The computer system causes presentation of an itemized interactive digital receipt on the first user's computing device including a number of points associated with the first user's account, and one or more items with corresponding points values and user interface controls. The first user selects one or more of the controls, wherein the selection comprises a request to use points for the items corresponding to the controls. The computer system causes the funds to be electronically transferred to the second user's account, wherein an amount of points corresponding to a total of the points values of the selected items are used to satisfy at least a portion of the funds.

Abstract: Various embodiments are related to receiving, by a system and from a user interface associated with an application, provided by the system and executing on a computing device of a user, an input for configuring early payment of at least a percentage of earned pay of the user; and initiating, by the system, an electronic transfer of a payment for at least the percentage of the earned pay of the user to an account of the user, wherein the electronic transfer occurs prior to a scheduled paycheck for the earned pay.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technology for collecting item-level transaction information for interactive payment experience. According to one embodiment, a merchant server can maintain a database including the information of financial accounts having a particular classification. The classification indicates that these financial accounts are associated with a payment service system. When the merchant server determines a requested financial transaction involves a financial account classified in the database, the merchant server transmits the item-level transaction information to the payment service system. The payment service system receives the item-level transaction information in real-time or near real-time and generates an interactive digital transaction receipt for a consumer.

Abstract: An assembly disposed within a subterranean wellbore can include a first dislodging tool coupled to a bottom end of a tubing string, wherein the first dislodging tool, when enabled at a first time, performs a first action to free at least one service tool, disposed below the first dislodging tool in the subterranean wellbore, from being stuck.
