Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for real-time routing of optical signals. A signal trace is received by a signal processor from a photon-number resolving detector. The signal trace is produced by the photon-number resolving detector in response to an optical pulse from a light source (e.g. a pulsed laser). The signal processor determines the photon number of the optical pulse by applying a function to the signal trace and one or more reference traces. A feedback signal is then defined based on the photon number of the optical pulse. The feedback signal is used to control the operation of a switch positioned in the path of a related optical signal. The switch operates to define the forward routing path of the related optical signal.

Abstract: A time-to-frequency converter transforms an initial single-photon pulse into a transformed pulse such that the temporal waveform of the initial pulse is mapped to the spectrum of the transformed pulse. The time-to-frequency converter includes a dispersive optical element followed by a time lens. The spectrum of the transformed pulse is then measured to determine the arrival time of the initial pulse. The spectrum can be measured using a photon-counting spectrometer that spatially disperses the transformed pulse onto an single-photon detector array. Alternatively. an additional dispersive element can be used with the time-to-frequency converter to implement a time magnifier. The arrival time of the resulting time-magnified pulse can then be measured using time-correlated single-photon counting. This arrival time can then be divided by the magnification factor of the time magnifier to obtain the arrival time of the initial pulsc.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an integrated photonic chip structure for universal quantum walk simulation which combines the multiphoton source that can generate the spatially entangled multi-photon state and the linear optical network that can implement the unitary transformation, and establishes mapping between on-chip spatial-entangled multi-photon state and quantum walk state and mapping between on-chip linear optical unitary transformation and the evolution process of multi-particle quantum walk. By manipulating the spatially entangled multi-photon state generated via the multi-photon sources and the optical unitary transformation implemented via the universal linear optical networks, the chip structure can implement universal quantum walk simulation with the control over all parameters of multiple-particle quantum walks including such as evolution Hamiltonian, evolution time, initial evolution state and particle properties (i.e., particle indistinguishability and particle exchange symmetry).
