Described are techniques for corroborating anomalous behavior. The techniques include training devices included in an Internet of Things (IoT) mesh network to independently identify occurrences of anomalous behavior in a proximate physical environment. The techniques further include receiving event data from at least a portion of the devices in the IoT mesh network corresponding to a time window, where the event data reports occurrences of at least one type of anomalous behavior. The techniques further include corroborating the at least one type of anomalous behavior to determine that the occurrences of the at least one type of anomalous behavior indicate an anomalous event that meets a reporting threshold for providing notice of the anomalous event. The techniques further include generating a notification regarding the anomalous event.

Corroborating device-detected anomalous behavior

Techniques for enhanced calibration and performance of quantum computers are presented. A monitoring job component can execute monitoring jobs on a quantum computer. A modeler component can determine respective quantum computer system state parameter values at a given time based on parameter values at respective time instances, the parameter values determined from output data generated by the quantum computer in response to execution of the monitoring jobs. A calibration agent can determine a calibration strategy relating to ordering of performance of calibration tasks to calibrate at least one parameter associated with the quantum computer based on the quantum computer system state parameter values. Calibration agent can determine a reward relating to benefits and costs associated with performing calibrations of quantum computers, and, based on the reward, can update a calibration policy that can be used to determine or update the calibration strategy for calibrating parameters associated with quantum computers.
