Multi-NARP Laser Driving Scheme for Multiplexed Quantum Networks

We extend the recently developed NARP scheme for laser-triggered single-photon sources to the simultaneous excitation of multiple emitters with varying transition energies, laying the groundwork for wavelength-division multiplexing in quantum optical networks. Our Multi-NARP scheme does not rely on polarization filtering and thus enables the near-unity extraction efficiency of single photons from each quantum dot. Our approach also offers the advantages of robustness to variations in the laser pulse parameters and immunity to excitation-induced dephasing tied to electron-phonon coupling. We show that simultaneous triggering of at least 10 emitters is possible, enabling the development of high-bandwidth quantum networks.

KeBaB: $k$-mer based breaking for finding long MEMs

Long maximal exact matches (MEMs) are used in many genomics applications such as read classification and sequence alignment. Li's ropebwt3 finds long MEMs quickly because it can often ignore much of its input. In this paper we show that a fast and space efficient $k$-mer filtration step using a Bloom filter speeds up MEM-finders such as ropebwt3 even further by letting them ignore even more. We also show experimentally that our approach can accelerate metagenomic classification without significantly hurting accuracy.
