  • Publication number: 20250148341
    Abstract: Define a plurality of qubit collision types and a plurality of constraints. For a group of qubits, use a computerized mixed-integer programming solver to, subject to the constraints, iteratively minimize collisions by minimizing a sum of products of weights multiplied by an amount of frequency collisions for given ones of the constraints of each one of the collision types. Output a frequency tuning plan for the group of qubits, based on the iterative minimization. Facilitate tuning physical qubits in accordance with the frequency tuning plan.

  • Patent number: 12236317
    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, computer program products and/or computer-implemented methods of use provided herein relate to analysis of qubit coherence parameters of a physical qubit layout of a quantum computer. A system can comprise a pulse component for transmitting signals to a qubit, a readout component for receiving signals form the qubit, a memory that stores computer executable component, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components are executable to cause the pulse component to generate a first pulse to drive the qubit, cause the pulse component to generate a second pulse comprising an Autler-Townes off-resonant tone, and determine a probability relative to the qubit, in view of a shift of the qubit to a shifted frequency caused by the second pulse.

  • Patent number: 9096348
    Abstract: An item stabilizer configured to prevent lateral movement of an item (such as a product-supporting pallet) in a transport container. The item stabilizer includes a first item side engager, a second item side engager, and a connector attached to each of the item side engagers such that an item can be positioned on the connector between the item side engagers. The item stabilizer is configured to prevent movement of the item by engaging opposite sides of the item while the weight of the item and any products thereon or therein rest on the connector, thereby preventing the connector and the item side engagers themselves from moving laterally. Each item side engager respectively extends between one side of the item and one of the side walls of the transport container to limit the lateral movement of the item. Multiple item stabilizers can work together to hold an item in place.

  • Patent number: 8143120
    Abstract: A process for forming bipolar junction transistors having a plurality of different collector doping densities on a semiconductor substrate and an integrated circuit comprising bipolar junction transistors having a plurality of different collector doping densities. A first group of the transistors are formed during formation of a triple well for use in providing triple well isolation for complementary metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors also formed on the semiconductor substrate. Additional bipolar junction transistors with different collector doping densities are formed during a second doping step after forming a gate stack for the field effect transistors. Implant doping through bipolar transistor emitter windows forms bipolar transistors having different doping densities than the previously formed bipolar transistors.
