Abstract: A method for constructing a quantum gate for a unitary operation in photonic quantum information processing, comprises: providing two or more waveguides, calculating segment parameters for segments within a coupling region, said one or more parameters relating to propagation constants of respective waveguides, said one or more parameters being different for said first and second waveguides respectively and thereby providing detuning between said first and second waveguides to allow for unitary operation between said first and second waveguides with high fidelity in the presence of errors, then building the segments into the respective waveguides and optically coupling the waveguides at the coupling region using the segment parameters, thereby to construct a quantum logic gate for a unitary operation.

Abstract: System, methods, and devices for providing an address resolution service are provided. In one example, an Address Resolution Service (ARS) node is described as being in communication with one or more endpoints. The ARS node may include one or more circuits that respond to an ARS query message issued by the one or more endpoints with a response message that translates a layer three address to a layer two address.
