Channel-Optimized Quantum Error Correction

We develop a theory for finding quantum error correction (QEC) procedures which are optimized for given noise channels. Our theory accounts for uncertainties in the noise channel, against which our QEC procedures are robust. We demonstrate via numerical examples that...

Seismic Vulnerability Study of the Auburn-Foresthill Bridge

The Auburn-Foresthill Bridge is a 2,428 ft steel suspension bridge that links the towns of Auburn and Foresthill, California and was built in1973. While it is ranked 3rd in the U.S., it is the tallest bridge in California. The bridge is located in the seismically...

Quantum Metrology Subject to Instrumentation Constraints

Maximizing the precision in estimating parameters in a quantum system subject to instrumentation constraints is cast as a convex optimization problem. We account for prior knowledge about the parameter range by developing a worst-case and average case objective for...

Seismic Response of Precast Tunnel Linings

Precast concrete segmental lining systems have been gaining widespread use in seismically active areas and a single-pass version of such a system has been developed for use on the Silicon Valley Rapid Transit (SVRT) Project in San Jose, California. The response of...

MOTEMS Strain-Based Seismic Evaluation of Wharf Structures Using ADINA

Pursuant to Government Code 4526, The California States Lands Commission (CSLC) announced [1] its need for Engineering Consultants to perform a number of structural analyses with ADINA finite element program [2]. SC Solutions was selected to conduct this project for...
