Publication number: 20240171576Abstract: A server transmits to a third-party application a request for a resource that is received from a client. The server receives an authentication request from the client device that has been generated by the third-party application. The server transmits an identity provider selection page to the client device that allows the client device to select an identity provider. The server causes the client device to transmit a second authentication request to a selected identity provider. The server receives an authentication response that was generated by the identity provider that includes the identity of the user. The server enforces access rule(s) including identity-based rule(s) and/or non-identity based rule(s). If the user is permitted to access the third-party application, the server causes an authentication response to be transmitted from the client device to the third-party application that indicates the user has successfully authenticated.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: James Howard Royal, Samuel Douglas Rhea

Publication number: 20220405132Abstract: Disclosed are systems and computer implemented methods for providing quantum computing as a service. According to one embodiment the system includes a frontend computing system storing a frontend computer program, a backend computing system, and a quantum computer, the frontend computer program being a spreadsheet application configured to receive a service request from a user, the service request comprising service request parameters and input data. The frontend computing system sends the service request to the backend computing system, which is configured to encode it to a service job in a format suitable for the quantum computer to execute, and to submit the service job to the quantum computer. The quantum computer is configured to execute the service job and to provide service job results to the backend computing system, which translates them into results data and sends them to the frontend computing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2021Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Roman Oscar Orus Lacort, Serkan Sahin, Rodrigo Hernandez Cifuentes, Samuel Mugel, Samuel Douglas Palmer
