Implicit authentication consists of a server authenticating a user based on the user's usage profile, instead of/in addition to relying on something the user explicitly knows (passwords, private keys, etc.). While implicit authentication…
Quantum computers based on gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) are expected to scale. However, as the number of qubits increases, the burden of manually calibrating these systems becomes unreasonable and autonomous tuning must be used. There…
To mitigate the noise in quantum channels, calibration is used to tune the devices to minimize error. Generally, calibration is performed by transmitting pre-agreed-upon calibration states and determining an error cost so the two parties…
