Re: [Qirg] multiplexing?

Mmm, one problem is that it is used at many levels, and perhaps you and I are using it in different ways here.  I’m thinking of stat mux v. circuit switching, a very networky thing, but it’s also used to refer to frequency allocation in WDM and the quantum folks also use it to mean being able to connect multiple qubit memories to a single optical channel.
