Title: Deterministic photonic routings in optical networks
Abstract: 
In the optical communcation network, the photons from the input port are routed into the outports by routers. Usually, in a photonic network for quantum optical communcation and remote photonic quantum computation, the router as a network node can only route the photon from the injected port to one of the selected outports probabilistically, i.e., with finite sucessful probability. Here, beginning with the introduction of photonic source, transport and detection, we birefly review how to utilize the chiral photonic waveguides and the chiral photon-router interactions to implement the trageted photonic routings. The potential applications in the future photonic commnuncation networks and remote photonic computaion are discussed also.
