Patent number: 12236317Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Malcolm Scott Carroll, Sami Rosenblatt, Abhinav Kandala

Patent number: 9096348Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Signode Industrial Group LLCInventors: Marc Steven Johnson, Michael Scott Carroll, Christopher Wayne Baker
