  • Publication number: 20220318661
    Abstract: A method of addressing at least one qubit to be addressed in a set of two or more qubits includes exposing the qubit to be addressed to an electromagnetic field; and at a same time exposing another qubit of the set of two or more qubits to an electromagnetic counter field in such a way that the electromagnetic field has no effect on the other qubit or that the electromagnetic field has a different effect on the other qubit than on the qubit to be addressed. A device for performing the method includes the set of two or more qubits and electromagnetic sources for generating the electromagnetic field and electromagnetic counter field.

  • Patent number: 11391793
    Abstract: A device for generating and controlling a magnetic field strength and a method for generating and controlling a magnetic field strength are disclosed. The generation is very stable and precise. Preferably, reference values of physical variable can be generated relatively simply and economically. In addition, magnetic flux densities can be measured with high resolution and, in particular, highly robustly. The device and the method can also be used for transmitting information, in particular for ultra-wide band communication. The required devices can be very small, in particular miniature, and mobile.

  • Publication number: 20210373099
    Abstract: A composite pulse sequence that causes a series of magnetic moment rotations that, in combination, are equivalent to a pulse sequence that would cause a single rotation having a target desired rotation angle ? is described. The composite pulse sequence involves a plurality of pulses which each individually have a desired rotation (A°, B° etc) that is less than the target desired rotation ?°. The pulses each cause a rotation about respective axes, that may be orthogonal to each other. Slice selection magnetic gradients can be employed to make the component rotations of the composite pulse slice selective.

  • Publication number: 20210325495
    Abstract: A composite pulse sequence for MR systems is described. The pulse sequence involves a plurality of pulses which each individually have a desired rotation (A°, B° etc.) in which the pulses each cause a rotation about respective axes. Slice selection magnetic gradients may be employed to make the component rotations of the composite pulse slice selective. Optionally phase correction (re-phasing) gradients can also be included in the pulse sequence. One or more of the pulses making up the composite pulse are not based on a sinc shaped pulse envelope.

  • Publication number: 20210255842
    Abstract: A computer-implemented low-code development platform is provided including a user interface and having access to a library of step macros configured for user configuration and interconnection via the user interface to generate executable code. Each step macro includes a step configuration generator and an execution code generator. The step configuration generator is configured to generate a step configuration file based on user-configurable data points configurable via the user interface. The execution code generator is configured to generate executable code in the form of a compiled step file configured for storage in memory and execution by a processor of a computing system. The execution code generator receives and inputs the step configuration file into a metaprogramming component configured to interpret the user-configurable data points of the step configuration file and to generate and output the compiled step file.
