    Abstract: An apparatus includes a light source to provide a plurality of input optical modes in a squeezed state. The apparatus also includes a network of interconnected reconfigurable beam splitters (RBSs) configured to perform a unitary transformation of the plurality of input optical modes to generate a plurality of output optical modes. An array of photon counting detectors is in optical communication with the network of interconnected RBSs and configured to measure the number of photons in each mode of the plurality of the output optical modes after the unitary transformation. The apparatus also includes a controller operatively coupled to the light source and the network of interconnected RBSs. The controller is configured to control at least one of the squeezing factor of the squeezed state of light, the angle of the unitary transformation, or the phase of the unitary transformation.

    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.
