Abrégé

Systems and methods to perform quantum computing using a Rydberg blockade effect for a photon-photon nonlinear interaction at the single photon level that realizes a controlled-phase (CP) gate between control and target qubits that are encoded in the polarizations of a photon pair. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is used to write the photonic quantum state into the ground states of an ensemble of atoms. Then a controlled phase shift is induced via combination of Rabi flopping/oscillations and a Rydberg blockade effect. Then EIT transfers the quantum state with the conditional phase shift back from the ensemble of atoms to the photon pair, resulting in a CP gate. Waveplates before and after the ensemble of atoms can convert the CP gate to a CNOT gate. Distributed quantum computing is realized by transporting the photons between spatially separated quantum memories (i.e., ensemble of atoms).

An apparatus is described for robotic control of an ultrasound imaging device. The apparatus comprises a fixed base and a movable platform with an end-effector. A plurality of passive soft links connects the platform to the base. A series of cables connect the platform to a set of motors adjacent the base. When the platform is at rest, the tension in the cables counter-balances the passive soft links pushing the platform away from the base plate. Control electronics move the motors so as to control the location and the orientation of the platform. By increasing or decreasing tension in the cables, the motors smoothly control the location and the orientation of the platform and thus the end effector. Such a robotic apparatus can be used to provide expert handling of an ultrasound imaging device remotely.

Abrégé

Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are established as a strategy to move cargoes into the interior of eukaryotic cells by engaging import machinery on the cell surface. In most cases the CPP is covalently linked to the cargo; it is common to express cargo proteins with a CPP extension. In some experiments a non-specific interactions (e.g., hydrophobic interactions) have been used to form CPP-cargo complexes, but this has numerous drawbacks. Transport is less efficient and the lack of specificity means that other macromolecules in the medium will also be internalized. This application describes the use of specific CPP labeled adaptor proteins that can be used to move a wide variety of cargoes into the cell interior. The prototype adaptor protein is calmodulin; it is small, stable and easily produced, and binds short (17 amino acid) targets with high affinity in the presence of calcium. A cargo produced with a calmodulin binding tag can be internalized efficiently by CPP tagged calmodulin. Because calcium in the cell interior is typically kept low, CPP-calmodulin releases cargoes inside the cell. The calmodulin binding tag can be used to efficiently purify target proteins by affinity chromatography.
