Abstract: A multi-layer substrate stacking a plurality of insulating substrates supports one or more devices. Each substrate includes a face supporting conductive traces and edges surrounding the face at a substantially perpendicular angle. The multi-layer substrate includes a ground plane on a first substrate and a power plane on a second substrate. The ground plane is connected to at least one ground pad disposed on a first edge of the first substrate, which provides a low inductance ground path to the ground plane. The power plane is connected to at least one power pad disposed on a second edge of the second substrate, which provides a low inductance power path to the power plane.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method of establishing secure communications between nodes in a cloud environment. The method includes receiving a registration of a first user at a quantum processor service provider, receiving at the quantum processor service provider a request for authentication of the first registered user, the request comprising at least the password and the registration number, when the password and registration number match stored data at the quantum processor service provider for the first registered user, generating an EPR entangled pair and transmitting the EPR entangled pair to a first computing device of the first registered user, wherein the first registered user utilizes the EPR entangled pair in order to communicate with a second computing device associated with a second registered user. The quantum processor service provider can include a quantum EPR (Einstein Podoslky and Rosen) processor (QEP) and a logically co-located computer server.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for authenticating a product. An internal component of a product is identified by identifying an intrinsic attribute of the internal component, where the intrinsic attribute is received at a time subsequent to independently storing the intrinsic attribute in a database. A match is determined between the intrinsic attribute and the stored intrinsic attribute. The product is confirmed to be authentic when the match is verified.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for providing real-time updates and predictive functionality in a supply distribution chain of a product. A request is received from a user to view decentralized status information for a product, where the decentralized status information can include real time updates for building the product, assembling the product, shipping the product, and/or exchanging payments between suppliers, partners, or both. This decentralized status information for the product is received from one or more nodes on a distributed network, with the nodes being suppliers and/or partners in the supply distribution chain of the product. The user is granted at least read access to the decentralized status information of the product, as well as a prediction of product build completion based on node supply chain relationships specified within a smart contract.
