This study presents a comprehensive analysis of power consumption in the context of AR applications on the HoloLens 2. As an ablation study, the research systematically dissects various aspects, shedding light on both hardware and software components. The power consumption was examined in diverse scenarios, ranging from the device at idle to running AR applications of increasing complexity. Overall, the study provides insights into the power management aspects associated with Hololens 2 AR devices and applications, offering cues for optimizing energy efficiency and enhancing the user experience. The findings confirm that display-related factors, such as the screen brightness and content complexity, significantly impact power consumption. However, the results reveal that power usage does not scale linearly with the number of objects in an AR scene due to overhead factors and object occlusion. Furthermore, usage scenarios such as lighting conditions and large/minor user motions are analyzed. Moreover, the influence of different development platforms, Unity and Unreal, on power consumption is discussed, highlighting their respective contributions to energy usage. These findings might be useful for researchers, developers, and users of AR technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a theoretical study into the use of optical systems for quantum computation. The study results pertain to quantum sampling and quantum communication and provide a basis for further research and the development of a physical implementation. We propose an optical superstructure that can implement specific computation processes and algorithms. The superstructure is composed of nonlinear optical units, such as beta barium borate crystals. The units are positioned in series, powered by a pulse laser pump, and culminate in a beam splitter that generates the output state of a number of entangled photon pairs. Computation is achieved by entanglement propagation via beam splitters and adjustable phase shifters, which set related parameters. Demonstrating a two-component case, we show how a series of cosine-based components can be implemented. The obtained results open a broad front for future research. Future work should investigate the construction of a quantum optimizer using quantum sampling methods and also investigate high-precision temporal voltage measurement, which is a key procedure for the construction of high-fidelity devices.
