Claim 18:
19. A method for receiving an optical signal, comprising:
receiving at least one photon using receiving optics effective to receive output light of output optics from a light source;
using one or more of a plurality of quantum optical switches for delivering the at least one photon to one of a plurality of separate optical outputs, selected by a switch phase control, the a plurality of quantum optical switches comprising at least a first, second, and third quantum optical switch, wherein a first output of the first quantum optical switch is connected to an input of the second quantum optical switch, and a second output of the first quantum optical switch is connected to an input of the third quantum optical switch; and
sending the at least one photon to at least one separate optical process.
