Photonics Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) utilize a train of optical pulses to sample an electrical input waveform applied to an electrooptic modulator or a reverse biased photodiode. In the former, the resulting train of amplitude-modulated optical pulses is detected (converter to electrical) and quantized using a conversional electronics ADC- as at present there are no practical, cost-effective optical quantizers available with performance that rival electronic quantizers. In the latter, the electrical samples are directly quantized by the electronics ADC. In both cases however, the sampling rate is limited by the speed with which the electronics ADC can quantize the electrical samples. One way to increase the sampling rate by a factor N is by using the time-interleaved technique which consists of a parallel array of N electrical ADC converters, which have the same sampling rate but different sampling phase. Each operating at a quantization rate of fs/N where fs is the aggregated sampling rate. In a system with no real-time operation, the N channels digital outputs are stored in memory, and then aggregated (multiplexed) to obtain the digital representation of the analog input waveform. Alternatively, for real-time operation systems the reduction of storing time in the multiplexing process is desired to improve the time response of the ADC. The complete elimination of memories come expenses of concurrent timing and synchronization in the aggregation of the digital signal that became critical for a good digital representation of the analog signal waveform. In this paper we propose and demonstrate a novel optically synchronized encoder and multiplexer scheme for interleaved photonics ADCs that utilize the N optical signals used to sample different phases of an analog input signal to synchronize the multiplexing of the resulting N digital output channels in a single digital output port. As a proof of concept, four 320 Megasamples/sec 12-bit of resolution digital signals were multiplexed to form an aggregated 1.28 Gigasamples/sec single digital output signal.

A quantum computer is an information processing systems that utilizes invertible logic elements to perform reversible logic operations. It can also perform irreversible logic operations. Thus, in principle, it can compute the information transformation rule of any physical system for which the rules are known. A quantum computer can be designed to perform parallel computation on a massive scale, and therefore can have fast execution time. The basic structure of a quantum computer includes 1) a quantum register, or a configuration of quantum-mechanical energy states to store quantum bits (qubits) of information, 2) a quantum processor designed to induce quantum mechanical interactions between any arbitrary pair of qubits to perform a specified logic operations. 3) a quantum bus or network for transferring qubits from the registers to the processor and vice versa, and 4) a physical mechanisms for non-destructive measurements on the qubits. Quantum mechanical systems with the potential for realizing quantum computers include ion-trap quantum computers, cavity quantum electrodynamics quantum computers, photon-trap quantum computers, nuclear magnetic resonance quantum computers, and superconducting quantum computers. Decoherence [1 ,2] possesses the greatest challenge to the practical realization of quantum computers, because it causes the collapse of the quantum superposition states that contain the vital results of qubit manipulations. Decoherence processes are measurement-induced, noise-induced, and environment-induced [3] . Schemes to correct or circumvent the detrimental effects of decoherence in quantum processors fall into active error-correction schemes, and passive error-correction schemes [4]. Active error-correction schemes are designed to detect and correct for errors during computation. Algorithmic fault-tolerant computing [5, 6] is the most promising active-error correction scheme. In fault-tolerant computing, ancillary qubits are encoded into data blocks of the quantum registers. They are then used to detect errors. Once detected appropriate error-correction algorithms are then employed to rectify the errors. The implementation of fault-tolerant quantum computing has been hampered by the lack of practical universal set of quantum gates that can process an encoded data without propagating or introducing additional errors. Passive-error correction schemes [7] attempt to finding Hilbert subspaces that are intrinsically free of decoherence effects [8]. The key to quantum computing in such a decoherence-free subspace is the identification of mechanisms that can effect quantum mechanical interactions between the decoherence-free states without taking the system out of the decoherence-free environment. The challenge is to identify and employ physical processes that can achieve these goals.
