    Abstract: A device includes a plurality of photon sources coupled to a plurality of output terminals. The plurality of photon sources are coupled together, by a first switch layer, into a plurality of photon source groups. The first switch layer comprises a plurality of switches. The device further includes a second switch layer coupled to output terminals of the first switch layer. The second switch layer includes a plurality of second layer n-by-n switches and a plurality of second layer l-by-l switches, wherein l is less than n. At least two output terminals from two respective photon sources residing within a first photon source group of the plurality of photon source groups and a second photon source group of the plurality of photon source groups are coupled directly to respective output terminals of the device without being coupled to any intervening second switch from the second switch layer.

    Abstract: A device (e.g., a photonic multiplexer) is provided that includes a plurality of first switches. Each first switch in the plurality of first switches includes a plurality of first channels. Each first switch is configured to shift photons in the plurality of first channels by zero or more channels, based on first configuration information provided to the first switch. The device further includes a plurality of second switches. Each second switch includes a plurality of second channels. Each second channel is coupled with a respective first channel from a distinct first switch of the plurality of first switches. Each second switch is configured to shift photons in the plurality of second channels by zero or more channels, based on second configuration information provided to the second switch.
