Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for constructing and programming quantum annealing hardware. In one aspect, a method includes deriving data characterizing an energy spectrum of a Hamiltonian Htotal that characterizes quantum states of a quantum processor, wherein the quantum processor is controllable such that the Hamiltonian Htotal evolves from an initial Hamiltonian Hi to a problem Hamiltonian Hp comprising an energy spectrum that encodes a solution to an optimization problem, the deriving being based on Hi and Hp at a time that Htotal has the energy spectrum; estimating an average phonon energy of a bath in which the quantum processor is located; and determining, based on the derived data and the calculated average phonon energy, an additional Hamiltonian HQG that when combined with Htotal limits evolution of the quantum state of the quantum processor into the ground state of Hp when Htotal evolves to Hp without diagonalizing Hp.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using a quantum oracle to make inference in complex machine learning models that is capable of solving artificial intelligent problems. Input to the quantum oracle is derived from the training data and the model parameters, which maps at least part of the interactions of interconnected units of the model to the interactions of qubits in the quantum oracle. The output of the quantum oracle is used to determine values used to compute loss function values or loss function gradient values or both during a training process.

Abstract: A system and method of identifying objects is provided. In one aspect, the system and method includes a hand-held device with a display, camera and processor. As the camera captures images and displays them on the display, the processor compares the information retrieved in connection with one image with information retrieved in connection with subsequent images. The processor uses the result of such comparison to determine the object that is likely to be of greatest interest to the user. The display simultaneously displays the images the images as they are captured, the location of the object in an image, and information retrieved for the object.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for designing an artificial quantum thermal bath. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a primary quantum system; an auxiliary quantum system comprising a plurality of modes and that interacts with the primary quantum system, wherein: the auxiliary system interacts with the primary quantum system through one or more couplings, wherein the one or more couplings are controllable; a steady state of the auxiliary system, a response function of the auxiliary quantum system, an auxiliary system operator, and a spectrum of the auxiliary quantum system are determined to meet a respective condition; and the auxiliary system is controllable to relax the primary quantum system to an equilibrium state using a controllable function of the auxiliary system operator.
