Title: Electro-optically active device
Inventor: GUOMIN YU
IPC: G02F1/025
Filed: 2018-05-11
Abstract: A silicon based electro-optically active device comprises a silicon-on-insulator (S0I) waveguide, 250, an electro-optically active waveguide including an electro-optically active stack, 210, formed within a cavity of the SOI waveguide and a channel between the electro-optically active stack and the SOI waveguide. The channel may comprise a liner, 204, the lined channel is filled with a filling material, 205, with a refractive index similar (i.e. substantially equal to or within 10%) to that of a material forming a sidewall of the cavity, to thereby form a bridge-waveguide in the channel between the SOI waveguide and the electro-optically active stack. The filling material may be amorphous silicon or silicon germanium and the liner may be formed of silicon nitride. The electro-optically active stack may include a multiple quantum well (MQW) region. Also disclosed is a method of producing an electro-optically active device. The presence of the filled channel helps to provide a effectively barrier-less waveguide formed of the SOI waveguide, the liner (if present) and the filling material thus reducing losses that can occur at the faceted joint region between the passive waveguide and the active region.

Title: Redundant links for reliable communication
Inventor: GAYLORD YU
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2015-12-23
Abstract: To maintain performance during wireless communication, in a first mode of operation, a transmitting electronic device 110 transmits a data stream redundantly and concurrently using at least two different radios / network interface circuits, 116-1, 116-2. Each of the different radios is suitable for connection to its own antenna and operates using a wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol. Each transmitting radio uses a different channel from the other. The packets transmitted by the radios preferably include the same information. In a second mode of operation, link quality is determined without disrupting the communication of the information. This involves performing a quality-of-service (QoS) characterization of one of the channels while transmitting the data stream on another channel, without tearing down an existing connection with a receiver. The QoS characterization is either a channel calibration, or determining a distance to a receiving device and an associated phase distortion. The QoS characterization may lead to channel switching to a third channel.

Title: A method for identifying a valid energy state
Inventor: JULES LAURENT GUY TILLY
IPC: G06N10/00
Filed: 2020-01-14
Abstract: A method for identifying an excited energy state of a system of interacting electrons on a hybrid classical and quantum computer. The method identifies an excited energy state of a system (e.g. molecule) and applies a first parametrised quantum circuit (generator, 110) to a set of qubits 100 in an initial state of the system to provide a first set of parameters (theta) to generate valid states of the system; then applies a second parametrised quantum circuit (discriminator, 130) to the set of qubits to provide a second set of parameters (phi) providing thus an output representative of the extent of the overlap of the initial wavefunction with each of the known valid states; The method thus optimises the theta parameters to minimise the energy of the state and also minimises the extent of the overlap of the generated states by training the discriminator to optimise the phi parameters to discriminate between the initial wavefunction (generated by the generator) and each of the known valid states. The optimised theta parameters correspond to the excited energy of the system. The discriminator function may also be applied to an additional qubit in a known initial state (ancilla qubit 145).
