    摘要: A Qbit spin quantum device includes juxtaposed first and second semiconducting portions, the semiconducting portions being formed in a surface layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator type substrate and disposed on an insulating layer of the substrate, the substrate being fitted with a semiconducting support layer such that the insulating layer is arranged between the support layer and the surface layer, and several pairs of front control gates, each pair being formed respectively of first and second front control gates covering a region of the first and second semiconducting portions to form first and second quantum islands, respectively. An insulating region is provided between the first and second quantal islands to enable electrostatic coupling between the first and second quantum islands. The quantum device includes a back conductive electrode vertically aligned with a coupling insulating region and being formed of a region of metal-semiconductor material alloy arranged in the support layer.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining a coupling between magnetometers of an array of N magnetometers, for example with optical pumping, where each magnetometer comprises a field cancellation system capable of being activated to operate the magnetometer in zero field. This method comprises a first phase (P1) during which the N magnetometers are separated into N−1 magnetometers whose field cancellation system is deactivated and a measuring magnetometer whose field cancellation system is activated. This first phase comprises: the generation (GENj), by the magnetometers, of a plurality of reference magnetic fields of known amplitudes and distinct directions, the measurement (MESi), by the measuring magnetometer, of the ambient magnetic field on a plurality of measurement axes determination (CALCij) of coupling coefficients between the measuring magnetometer and each of the N magnetometers from said measurement and said known amplitudes.

    摘要: Matrix pressure sensor with neural network, and calibration method
    Matrix pressure sensor (1), comprising: a matrix (2) of tactile pixels (10) at least some of which have a reciprocal crosstalk effect between them, a neural network (30) for processing an image (IP_MES) of the response from the sensor and providing a corrected image (IP_COR), this network having been trained from an augmented database (BDAUG) comprising: real homogeneous pressing data measured by applying a homogeneous pressure (PR) to at least some of the pixels, better still to all of the pixels of the matrix, and additional partial pressing data produced through simulation by applying binary masks (MAS) to the real homogeneous pressing data, so as to simulate partial pressing without a crosstalk effect with the pixels situated outside partial pressing areas.
