摘要： A method for interacting with quantum states over respective time intervals comprises: providing, from at least one optical fiber interface, a fiber-coupled optical mode that controls optical coupling to and/or from an optical fiber, where at least a portion of the optical fiber extends outside of an interior of a housing comprising the at least one optical fiber interface; providing a quantum state from each quantum state emission element (QSEE) housed on or inside the housing; providing, from each of multiple portions of one or more directional structures, a preferential direction for an associated element-coupled optical mode that controls optical coupling to and from a different respective subset of one or more of the QSEEs; and scanning a scanning structure housed on or inside the housing to change an overlap between the fiber-coupled optical mode and a different respective one of the element-coupled optical modes over each time interval.
