    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for deconvolving feature data using convolution hardware. The method includes: reading a feature map and deconvolution kernel into on-chip memory, and padding zeroes to the feature map; determining convolution kernels based on the deconvolution kernel; removing a row and/or column of each convolution kernel whose elements all are invalid weights, to obtain an optimized convolution kernel, and removing a corresponding row and/or column in the zero-padded feature map to obtain an corresponding optimized feature map; convolving each optimized convolution kernel with corresponding optimized feature map using the multiply-add array, to obtain convolutional outputs; and interleaving and synthesizing the convolutional outputs to obtain an interleaving synthetic output including at least a deconvolutional output corresponding to the feature map and deconvolution kernel. The method reduces hardware complexity, chip area and power consumption, and many invalid operations, improving operating efficiency of convolution hardware.

    Abstract: A quantum computing system includes a first silicon nitride resonator couplable to a first alkali atom, a second silicon resonator couplable to a second alkali atom, and a plurality of lasers for trapping, cooling, and manipulating the first alkali atom and the second alkali atom. Detectors detect a presence of the trapped first alkali atom and the trapped second alkali atom, and a processor is configured to receive at least one input signal from at least one of the detectors, the input signal indicating a presence of the trapped first alkali atom and the trapped second alkali atom, and, based on the received input, control at least some of the plurality of lasers to manipulate at least one of the trapped first alkali atom and the trapped second alkali atom to thereby generate photonic qubits using the trapped first alkali atom or generate entanglement between photonic qubits transmitted to the trapped second alkali atom.
