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.

Claim (Index 25):
A device, comprising:\n a plurality of first switches, each first switch in the plurality of first switches including a corresponding set of two or more first channels, wherein each first switch is configured to shift photons in the corresponding set of first channels by zero or more channels, based on first configuration information provided to the first switch; and a plurality of second switches, each second switch of the plurality of second switches including a corresponding set of two or more second channels, wherein:\n each second switch is coupled, by the corresponding set of second channels, to outputs of two or more first switches, \n each second switch is configured to shift photons in the corresponding set of second channels by zero or more channels, based on second configuration information provided to the second switch.
