BCube is a highly scalable and cost-effective networking topology, which has been widely applied to modular datacenters. Optical technologies based on Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) are gaining popularity for Data Center Networks (DCNs) due to their technological strengths such as low communication latency, low power consumption, and high link bandwidth. Therefore, it is worth investigating optical techniques into the BCube architecture for future DCNs. For this purpose, we study the forwarding and optical indices in an all-optical BCube network. Consider an all-optical BCube network in which every host sets up a connection with every other host. The optical index is the minimum number of wavelengths required by the network to support such a host-to-host traffic, under the restriction that each connection is assigned a wavelength that remains constant in the network. A routing is a set of directed paths specified for all host pairs. By defining the maximum link load of a routing as the maximum number of paths passing through any link, the forwarding index is measured to be the minimum of maximum link load over all possible routings. The forwarding index turns out to be a natural lower bound of the optical index. In this paper, we first compute the forwarding index of an all-optical BCube network. Then, we derive an upper bound of the optical index by providing an oblivious routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) schemes, which attains the lower bound given by the forwarding index in some small cases. Finally, a tighter upper bound is obtained by means of the chromatic numbers in Graph Theory.
Quantum state tomography (QST) is a crucial ingredient for almost all aspects of experimental quantum information processing. As an analog of the imaging technique in the quantum settings, QST is born to be a data science problem, where machine learn
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have now been widely used for industry applications and also played more important roles in fundamental researches. Although most ANN hardware systems are electronically based, optical implementation is particularly
Topological insulators are a class of electronic materials exhibiting robust edge states immune to perturbations and disorder. This concept has been successfully adapted in photonics, where topologically nontrivial waveguides and topological lasers w
We report on a stable optical trap suitable for a macroscopic mirror, wherein the dynamics of the mirror are fully dominated by radiation pressure. The technique employs two frequency-offset laser fields to simultaneously create a stiff optical resto
All-optical feedback can be effected by putting the output of a source cavity through a Faraday isolator and into a second cavity which is coupled to the source cavity by a nonlinear crystal. If the driven cavity is heavily damped, then it can be adi
