This paper provides a rigorous mathematical definition of SLH-networks using the braid-map formalism to model cascades of quantum systems with finite delays. By deriving expressions for time-evolution and retrieving the series product in the instantaneous feed-forward limit, it advances the theoretical framework necessary for analyzing complex quantum architectures.
Braid map definition of SLH-networks and the series product
arXiv:2609.13600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This article investigates a cascade of quantum systems within an SLH-network. The SLH-network is defined rigorously by using the so-called braid-map. An expression is derived for the time-evolution of the network with finite delay. The series product is retrieved in the instantaneous feed-forward limit.
