    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for electrically coupling an integrated circuit to a set of coaxial lines via a printed circuit board assembly are described. A device sample holder includes a printed circuit board that is operable to edge-couple to an integrated circuit. A surface of the printed circuit board that carries a set of coaxial connectors is orthogonal to another surface of the printed circuit board that exposes a set of conductive traces. The set of conductive traces are operable to electrically couple to a set of conductive paths of an integrated circuit to provide a communicative path between the integrated circuit and components of an input/output system in a refrigerated environment.

    Abstract: A multilayer circuit board structure includes superconducting connections to internal layers thereof, for example by inclusion of superconducting vias. Two or more panels can each comprise respective electrically insulative substrates, each have one or more through-holes, and also include a respective bimetal foil on at least a portion of a respective surface thereof, which is patterned to form traces. The bimetal foil includes a first metal that is non-superconductive in a first temperature range and a second metal that is superconductive in the first temperature range. The panels are plated to deposit a third metal on exposed traces of the second metal, the third metal superconductive in the first temperature range. Panels are join (e.g., laminated) to form at least a three-layer superconducting printed circuit board with an inner layer, two outer layers, and superconducting vias between the inner layer and at least one of the two outer layers.

    Abstract: Machine-learning (ML) techniques and systems are advantageously employed in areas such as psychiatric genetics, and analysis of gene expression. Generative ML may be performed over large datasets to infer new pleiotropic effects of genetic variants in multiple neuropsychiatric diseases. Deep ML may infer information about psychiatric genetics. ML may realize an efficient estimation of multi-disease genetic and environmental correlation matrices. ML may obtaining protein expression data and generating a mapping between the protein expression data and at least one disease. ML may be performed on a data that that jointly models multiple diseases. Quantum processing can be advantageously employed in ML scenarios.

    Abstract: In a quantum processor some couplers couple a given qubit to a nearest neighbor qubit (e.g., vertically and horizontally in an ordered 2D array), other couplers couple to next-nearest neighbor qubits (e.g., diagonally in the ordered 2D array). Couplers may include half-couplers, to selectively provide communicative coupling between a given qubit and other qubits, which may or may not be nearest or even next-nearest-neighbors. Tunable couplers selective mediate communicative coupling. A control system may impose a connectivity on a quantum processor, different than an “as designed” or “as manufactured” physical connectivity. Imposition may be via a digital processor processing a working or updated working graph, to map or embed a problem graph. A set of exclude qubits may be created from a comparison of hardware and working graphs. An annealing schedule may adjust a respective normalized inductance of one or more qubits, for instance to exclude certain qubits.

    Abstract: The systems, devices, articles, and methods generally relate to sampling from an available probability distribution. The samples maybe used to create a desirable probability distribution, for instance for use in computing values used in computational techniques including: Importance Sampling and Markov chain Monte Carlo systems. An analog processor may operate as a sample generator, for example by: programming the analog processor with a configuration of the number of programmable parameters for the analog processor, which corresponds to a probability distribution over qubits of the analog processor, evolving the analog processor with a fast ramp operation, and reading out states for the qubits. The state for the qubits may be post processes and/or used to calculate importance weights.

    Abstract: Degeneracy in analog processor (e.g., quantum processor) operation is mitigated via use of floppy qubits or domains of floppy qubits (i.e., qubit(s) for which the state can be flipped with no change in energy), which can significantly boost hardware performance on certain problems, as well as improve hardware performance for more general problem sets. Samples are drawn from an analog processor, and devices comprising the analog processor evaluated for floppiness. A normalized floppiness metric is calculated, and an offset added to advance the device in annealing. Degeneracy in a hybrid computing system that comprises a quantum processor is mitigated by determining a magnetic susceptibility of a qubit, and tuning a tunneling rate for the qubit based on a tunneling rate offset determined based on the magnetic susceptibility. Quantum annealing evolution is controlled by causing the evolution to pause for a determined pause duration.

    Abstract: A quantum processor is operable as a universal adiabatic quantum computing system. The quantum processor includes physical qubits, with at least a first and second communicative coupling available between pairs of qubits via an in-situ tunable superconducting capacitive coupler and an in-situ tunable superconducting inductive coupler, respectively. Tunable couplers provide diagonal and off-diagonal coupling. Compound Josephson junctions (CJJs) of the tunable couplers are responsive to a flux bias to tune a sign and magnitude of a sum of a capacitance of a fixed capacitor and a tunable capacitance which is mediated across a pair of coupling capacitors. The qubits may be hybrid qubits, operable in a flux regime or a charge regime. Qubits may include a pair of CJJs that interrupt a loop of material and which are separated by an island of superconducting material which is voltage biased with respect to a qubit body.
