Abstract: The disclosure describes an adaptive and optimal imaging of individual quantum emitters within a lattice or optical field of view for quantum computing. Advanced image processing techniques are described to identify individual optically active quantum bits (qubits) with an imager.

Expected spatial distributions of the quantum emitters guides the processing, which uses adaptive fitting of peak distribution functions to determine the number of quantum emitters in real time. These techniques can be used for the loading process, where atoms or ions enter the trap one-by-one, for the identification of solid-state emitters, and for internal state-detection of the quantum emitters, where each emitter can be fluorescent or dark depending on its internal state.

Abstract: Distribution of a reset signal across a system-on-chip (SoC) may be the highest latency signal in the circuit. As a result, the operating frequency of the device is reduced to ensure that the reset signal reaches all intellectual property (IP) blocks during a single clock cycle.

As a result, distribution of the synchronous reset signal may be performed without regard to the latency of the signal. After the synchronous reset signal has been received by all of the IP blocks, reset is deasserted and the clock signal is resumed.
