Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum streaming kernel processes a data stream. In some aspects, an input stream of data is converted to an output stream of data by repeatedly receiving new portions of the input stream; encoding each new portion into an internal quantum state of a quantum processor; measuring a first part of the internal quantum state while maintaining coherence of a second part of the internal quantum state; and producing the output stream of data based on the measurements. In some cases, a history of the input stream is preserved by the coherence of the internal quantum state, and the measurements contain information based on the history of the input stream.

The delivery particle has high pay load, yet exhibits decreased benefit agent leakage, and provides a desired delivery profile.

Abstract: A host system communicates to a production system that performs point-in-time copy operations to a backup system to generate a logical corruption protection (LCP) copy of a production copy that comprises a data set, wherein the point-in-time copy operations perform copying at a media level in which physical tracks are copied from the production system to the backup system, and wherein the point-in-time copy operations avoid using information on the data set or file structure that is included in a media on which the data set is stored. In response to a detection of a logical corruption in the data set, a recovery application executing in the host system recovers the data set from the LCP copy.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a quantum program is automatically synthesized. In some implementations, artificial intelligence systems are used to generate a quantum program to run on a quantum computer. In some aspects, quantum processor output data are generated by a quantum resource executing an initial version of a quantum program, and quantum state information is computed from the quantum processor output data. Neural network input data, which include the quantum state information and a representation of a problem to be solved by the quantum program, are provided to a neural network. Neural network output data are generated by the neural network processing the neural network input data. A quantum logic gate is selected based on the neural network output data. An updated version of the quantum program that includes the selected quantum logic gate is generated.

Abstract: Interactions between a classical computing system and a quantum computing system can be structured to increase the effective memory available to hold instructions for a quantum processor. The system stores a schedule of compiled quantum processing instructions in a memory storage location on a classical computing system. A small program memory is included in close proximity to a control system for the quantum processor on the quantum computing system. The classical computing system sends a subset of instructions from the schedule of quantum instructions to the program memory. The control system manages execution of the instructions by accessing them at the program memory and configuring the quantum processor accordingly. While the quantum processor executes the instructions, additional instructions are transferred from the classical computing system to the program memory to await execution.

Abstract: A method of measuring tides and inland water levels is provided. The method comprises a computer receiving a first measurement of an angle formed by a first ray comprising a vertical fixed piling and a second ray formed by a downward sloping ramp of known length, a lower end of the ramp contacting a surface of a dock float and the surface representing a plane contacting the fixed piling at a 90-degree angle at a first meeting point. The computer then calculates, based on the first measurement, based on the ramp length, and based on the 90-degree angle, a first distance from the first meeting point to a vertex of the angle. The computer later receives a second measurement of the angle, wherein the plane meets the piling at a second meeting point. The computer calculates a second distance and expressing a difference between two distances as tidal change.
