In circuit QED, ancilla measurement has been accomplished by coupling the qubit to photons passing through a resonator, and observing the accrued phase using homodyne detection [13].
Raising the fee to the total fines accrued for using the stops illegally or implementing a tax to bring in meaningful revenue for SFMTA, as activists propose, may require voter approval, according to SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin.
