  • Publication number: 20230244325
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling a particular computer to execute a task is described. The method includes receiving a control input comprising a visual input, the visual input including one or more screen frames of a computer display that represent at least a current state of the particular computer; processing the control input using a neural network to generate one or more control outputs that are used to control the particular computer to execute the task, in which the one or more control outputs include an action type output that specifies at least one of a pointing device action or a keyboard action to be performed to control the particular computer; determining one or more actions from the one or more control outputs; and executing the one or more actions to control the particular computer.

  • Patent number: 11343001
    Abstract: Quantum network nodes use light from a laser to stimulate emission of single photons. A detection station detects arrival of the photons from the quantum network nodes at a photon arrival detector. In time slots between single photon emissions, the quantum network node supply light from the laser to the detection station. The detection station measures a phase differences between light from a reference laser and the light received from different quantum network nodes in said time slots. The detection station has optical phase and/or frequency modulators between the optical inputs for light from the quantum network nodes and the photon arrival detector.
