• Abstract summary: We develop a method for optimizing the structure of general binary-tree multiplexers realized with asymmetric photon routers. We show that single-photon sources based on such optimal multiplexers yield higher single-photon probabilities than that can be achieved with single-photon sources based on any other spatial multiplexer.

• Abstract: We develop a method for optimizing the structure of general binary-tree multiplexers realized with asymmetric photon routers aiming at improving the performance of spatially multiplexed single-photon sources. Our procedure systematically considers all possible binary-tree multiplexers that can be formed by a certain number of photon routers. Using this method one can select the multiplexer structure that leads to the highest single-photon probability for a given set of loss parameters characterizing the system. We determine the optimal general binary-tree multiplexers for experimentally realizable values of the transmission coefficients of the photon routers and that of the detector efficiency. We show that single-photon sources based on such optimal multiplexers yield higher single-photon probabilities than that can be achieved with single-photon sources based on any other spatial multiplexer considered in the literature. Our approach improves the performance of multiplexed single-photon sources even for small system sizes which is the typical situation in current experiments.

  Temporal-to-spatial demultiplexing routes non-simultaneous events of the same spatial mode to distinct output trajectories. We propose and demonstrate a demultiplexing approach that utilizes only a single active element for routing to, in principle, an arbitrary number of outputs.

  Integrated arrays of Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) have shown capabilities such as Photon Number Resolution, single photon imaging and coincidences detection. The growing complexity of such applications requires the use of multiplexing schemes for the simultaneous readout of different detectors. A simple multiplexing scheme can be realized by arranging a series of SNSPDs elements, shunted by appropriate resistances.

• Scalable multiphoton generation from cavity-synchronized single-photon sources [5.187669487527287]
  Design relies on multiple single-photon sources, each coupled to a waveguide, and all of them interact with a common cavity mode. For a state-of-the-art circuit QED implementation, this scheme supports the creation of single photons with purity, indistinguishability, and efficiency of $99%$ at rates of $sim $MHz. This is orders of magnitude more efficient than previous demultiplexed sources for boson sampling and enables the realization of deterministic multi-photon sources and scalable quantum information processing with photons.

  Detectors capable of resolving photon numbers have undergone a significant development recently, and this is expected to affect multiplexed periodic single-photon sources. We analyze various spatially and time-multiplexed periodic single-photon source arrangements with photon-number-resolving detectors. We find that the highest single-photon probability is 0.907 that can be achieved by binary bulk time multiplexers using photon-number-resolving detectors.
