Abstract: A hardware quantum gate for running quantum algorithms in a very fast manner exploits the fact that a large number of multiplications required by an entanglement operation of the quantum algorithm provides a null result since only one component per row of the entanglement matrix UF is not a null. The entanglement operation generates an entanglement vector by permuting pairs of opposite components of a linear superposition vector, depending on the value assumed by the function f. More specifically, if function f is null in correspondence to the vector identified by the first (leftmost) n qubits in common with the two nnull1 qubit vectors, in which a pair of opposite components of the superposition vector is referred to, then the corresponding pair of components of the entanglement vector is equal to that of the superposition vector, otherwise it is the opposite.

Abstract translation: 用于以非常快速的方式运行量子算法的硬件量子门利用了这样一个事实：量子算法的纠缠操作所需的大量乘法提供了一个空的结果，因为每行纠缠矩阵UF中只有一个分量不是零 。 缠结操作通过根据函数f所假设的值来排列线性叠加矢量的相对分量对来产生纠缠矢量。 更具体地说，如果函数f对应于与由两个n + 1量子位矢量共同的第一（最左）n个量子位所确定的矢量为零，其中参考叠加矢量的一对相反分量，则 纠缠矢量的对应的一对分量等于叠加矢量的分量，否则是相反的。

Abstract: Three-dimensional analysis of surface defects and microdefects of an object is performed by correlating two images of the surface of the object based upon a stereoscopic view thereof. Analyzing surface defects may be implemented by integrating, in a single monolithic component made using VLSI CMOS technology, an optical sensor with a cellular neural network. The optical sensor includes a matrix of cells configured as analog processors.

Abstract: A quantum gate for running a Grover's quantum algorithm using a binary function having a vector basis of n qubits is provided. The quantum gate includes a superposition subsystem, an entanglement subsystem and an interference subsystem. The interference subsystem performs an interference operation on components of entanglement vectors for generating components of output vectors. The interference subsystem performs the interference operation in a very fast manner by using an adder receiving as input signals representing even or odd components of an entanglement vector, and generating a sum signal representing a weighted sum with a scale factor of the even or odd components. The interference subsystem also includes an array of adders each input with a respective signal representative of an even or odd component of an entanglement vector and with the weighted sum signal, and generates a signal representative of an even or odd component of an output vector as a difference between the weighted sum signal and the signal representing an even or odd component of an entanglement vector.

Abstract: A system for detecting distances for vehicle and robotic applications includes a transducer for generating a transmission signal to be sent in the direction of an obstacle, and for obtaining a receiving signal corresponding to an echo produced by the reflection of the transmission signal off the obstacle. The transducer is driven by a chaos generator, such as a Chua's circuit. The system also includes a correlator for correlating the transmission signal and the receiving signal so that the distance between the obstacle and the transducer is identified by an instant at which the correlation assumes a high value. The transmission signal may be a square-wave signal selectively generated with one first frequency and one second frequency, and jumps between the two frequencies are determined by the instants of emission of the pulses generated by an analog type pulse generator driven by the chaos generator.

Abstract: A method of controlling the movements of a multi-actuator electromechanical system having a matrix of locally interconnected analog cells associated therewith is provided. Each cell represents a hardware implementation of a model of fuzzy inference rules. The model includes a fuzzy circuit architecture which may be implemented in an integrated circuit with VLSI CMOS technology that generates and controls a reaction diffusion mechanism typical of auto-waves using a fuzzy neural network. The fuzzy neural network defines the functional relationships that may duplicate simultaneous reaction diffusion equations. The duplication of the simultaneous reaction diffusion equations is provided using two sets of fuzzy rules processing, in a linguistic manner, the state variables of the cells. An oscillatory type dynamic is imposed on each cell where two dynamic processes having different kinetic characteristics coexist.
