Universal Tool for Single-Photon Circuits: Quantum Router Design.

We demonstrate that the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian approach can be used as a universal tool to design and describe a performance of single photon quantum electrodynamical circuits (cQED). As an example of the validity of this method, we calculate a novel six port quantum router, constructed from four qubits and three open waveguides. We have obtained analytical expressions, which describe the transmission and reflection coefficients of a single photon in general form taking into account the spread qubit's parameters. We show that, due to naturally derived interferences, in situ tuning the probability of photon detection in desired ports.
