  • Patent number: 12473169
    Abstract: A method for correcting a measurement value of a reference mark on a material web is disclosed. A controller, a machine, a computer program and a computer program product can perform a correction of this type. To improve determination of the position of a reference mark on a material web, a machine in which the material web is moved in a conveying direction has at least one tool that functions in a non-positive locking manner, a second tool that functions in a non-positive locking manner and is located downstream of the first tool in the conveying direction, and a sensor that is located between the two tools. A measurement error in the sensor which arises as a result of an adjustment of the second tool is determined at least approximately at least via parameter values of the second tool. The measurement value is corrected by the measurement error.

  • Publication number: 20250232199
    Abstract: A method for operating a quantum register. The method includes: carrying out of a first read-out process, so that first data representing a first state of the quantum register are ascertained; first control of the quantum register, which is in the first state, in accordance with a quantum gate; carrying out of a second read-out process, so that second data representing a second state of the quantum register which results from the first control are ascertained; adjustment of at least one parameter of the quantum gate using the first data and the second data in order to optimize a target function which is dependent on the first data and on the second data; second control of the quantum register in accordance with the quantum gate which results from the adjustment.

  • Publication number: 20250181954
    Abstract: The invention refers to a quantum computer for performing operations based on control signals for determining a solution of a problem comprising a first and a second portion. A fermion operation part is configured to utilize states of quantum elements manipulable by operations. The operations are related to the second portion. A boson operation part is configured to couple bosonic fields to the quantum elements. The coupling is manipulable by operations that are related to the first portion. A manipulation part manipulates the fermion operation part based on operations related to the second portion, and the boson operation part based on operations related to the first portion. A readout part measures an observable of the state of each quantum element representing the state of a respective qubit and bosonic fields, wherein the result of the measurement is indicative of the solution of the problem.
