Quantum routings for single photons with different frequencies

Abstract

Controllable single-photon routing takes the central roles in optical quantum networks for quantum information processing. Given that most of the schemes previously proposed are specifically designed for the photons with selected frequencies, here we investigate how to implement the routings of single photons with different frequencies. We show that the routing capabilities of the photons with different frequencies are manipulatable by properly designing the configuration of the scatters such as the cavity with embedded atoms and the channel boundaries. This is particularly important to implement the bandwidth routings of photons in future.
