The innovation described here consists of synthesizing in a one-step process a self-standing electrode with single-atom catalysts (SACs) supported on a nanocarbon matrix that will outperform the established standards at a much cheaper cost for most electrocatalytic reactions. The scientific breakthrough supporting this research is based on the simultaneous delamination and doping of a thin film stack using chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

The Vcc level and temperature of IC’s are important parameters which determine the power / performance. Resonances in the package and platform can cause significant AC voltage droops which can degrade functionality, requiring additional guard-band. Prior-art droop detectors utilize digital delay circuits, such as tunable replica circuits to measure these droops. However, the delay is a strong function of temperature as well as the DC Vcc level, making it difficult to differentiate the AC droop across different voltage and temperature levels. It is proposed to utilize a current controlled oscillator (CCO) with an analog bias to mitigate the voltage and temperature dependencies, such that only the AC droop is measured. The CCO frequency is independent of the DC Vcc level, while the temperature is also characterized along with the AC droop, such that both temperature and droop levels can be extracted. The sensor can measure droops and temperature to an accuracy of 10mV and ±3oC respectively. The circuit occupies 8800 μm2 in 65nm with a power consumption of 297 µW. This circuit is very useful to characterize the power grid in design for test (DFT) applications as well as on-the-fly real time chip operation.

A Droop mitigation system is featured which includes an inverter-based droop detector as well as Dual Mode Logic (DML). The droop detector is based on capacitor ratios and is thus insensitive to PVT. The DML logic can alter its power/performance ratio based on the droop level input it receives from the detector, such that the critical timings are preserved. The droop detector consumes 62uW, has a response time of 2ns and an accuracy of 0.9%, making it one of the fastest, most accurate, and lowest power droop detectors in its class. A ripple carry adder is demonstrated, with DML logic in its critical path, which can maintain timing for droops as high as 400mV.

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) is a recent family of quantum algorithms, applicable for a large set of theoretical and industrial optimization problems, form computational chemistry, through combinaotrial problems to machine learning tasks. All these problems are classically intractable and the hope is that quantum computers through VQAs could offer better or more efficient solutions. However, despite significant research efforts, their performance often falls short. Pulse optimization strategies for VQAs operate directly at the pulse level instead of following the traditional gate optimization process. This approach provides more adaptability and the potential for quicker execution. In the invention presented here, we further develop a freestyle pulse optimization method which doesn't set specific limitations on the pulse form beyond those that are set by the hardware itself. Rather, the pulse is broken down into a sequence of constant-amplitude pulses, with each one being fine-tuned individually. In comparison to previous literature, our scheme stands out in that in addition to each qubit having its own distinct freestyle pulse channel, which is optimized individually, we also account for a dedicated channel for every qubit pair, as natively designed in several super conducting qubit platforms, thereby ensuring optimal flexibility and expressiveness.

A new architecture of an on-die process monitor circuit is demonstrated in 28nm. The proposed circuit can extract the threshold voltage, VTH, and random mismatch of a transistor using multiple extraction methods including the second derivative method. A sigma-delta modulator analog-to-digital converter samples the output to enable on-die processing of the results. A VDS voltage control loop enables VTH extraction in both the linear and saturation regions of the device. The circuit has a compact area of 5510aμm2

The discovery describes an innovative source of broad-band, highly-coherent quantum light and high-efficiency photon-pair generation with low pump power. Additionally, a novel method for self-measurement of the quantum coherence is described - the source itself can be used to measure its own performance. The source is based on a nonlinear crystal with polished and coated end facets to create a monolithic broad-band Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO). Its advantages over common sources of nonlinear crystals in single-pass include: 1. A monolithic OPO provides ideal coherence quality due to minimizing internal losses to a minimum. 2. The required pump power for a given photon flux is low. The threshold for lasing in such a source can be low (less than 5 watts, sometimes down to hundreds of milliwatts, depending on design). 3. Integral dispersion compensation in the crystal mirrors ensures a maximal bandwidth of tens of nanometers and above, generating many pairs of squeezed photons and allowing for a very high flux of entangled photons - up to terahertz pairs per second, which is a significant advantage for quantum communication applications in wavelength-division multiplexing. 4. Mode spacing convenient for telecom (around 10 GHz) in the telecommunication range (1550 nanometers) allows for the construction of separate channels, which is crucial for communication applications. 5. The monolithic design of the OPO ensures passive stability, which facilitates the feedback loop for stabilizing the pump laser to the resonator frequency. Moreover, the concentric design of the resonator ensures stability and resistance to spatial misalignments. Furthermore, the discovery includes a method for self-measurement of the generated coherence using parametric homodyne detection within the crystal itself. Specifically, by operating the monolithic source in a ring resonator configuration, the source can be used in one direction (with the clock) to generate quantum light, and in the opposite direction for measurement, enabling wide-bandwidth homodyne-based measurement, as described in the accompanying documents. Together, the source and measurement method provide a foundation for various applications of quantum technology, such as secure quantum communication (QKD) and wide-bandwidth quantum sensing.
