High-resolution three-dimensional (3-D) imaging (stereo imaging) by endoscopes in minimally invasive surgery, especially space-constrained applications such as brain is one of the most desired capabilities. Such capability exists at larger than 4-mm overall diameters.

Leakage of quantum information out computational states into higher energy represents a major challenge in the pursuit error correction (QEC). In QEC circuit, leakage builds over time and spreads through multi-qubit interactions. This leads to correlated errors that degrade exponential suppression logical with scale, challenging feasibility as path towards fault-tolerant computation. Here, we demonstrate execution distance-3 surface code distance-21 bit-flip on Sycamore processor where is...

Studies have shown that stereo images improve surgeons' visuomotor tasks and therefore constructively affect the outcome of a minimally invasive surgery. Stereo are captured by endoscope, which consists commonly duplicate lens systems. However, can also be single system following dual aperture scheme (DAS).

In an effort to miniaturize a 3D imaging system, we created two viewpoints in single objective lens camera. This was accomplished by placing pair of Complementary Multi-band Bandpass Filters (CMBFs) the aperture area. Two key characteristics about CMBFs are that passbands staggered so only one viewpoint is opened at time when light band matched passband illuminated, and positioned throughout visible spectrum, each can render color taking RGB spectral images. However, takes different image...

There are many advantages to minimally invasive surgery (MIS). An endoscope is the optical system of choice by surgeon for MIS. The smaller incision or opening made perform surgery, needed. For neurological and skull base surgeries openings typically 10-mm in diameter (dime sized) less. largest outside (OD) used 4mm. A significant drawback endoscopic MIS that it only provides a monocular view surgical site thereby lacking depth information surgeon. stereo would provide instantaneous...
