Line 58: * The first step is to create a graph-like structure made from optical cables and splitters. Each graph has a start node and a destination node. * The light enters through the start node and traverses the graph until it reaches the destination. It is delayed when passing through arcs and divided inside nodes. * The light is marked when passing through an arc or through ana node so that we can easily identify that fact at the destination node. * At the destination node we will wait for a signal (fluctuation in the intensity of the signal) which arrives at a particular moment(s) in time. If there is no signal arriving at that moment, it means that we have no solution for our problem. Otherwise the problem has a solution. Fluctuations can be read with a [[photodetector]] and an [[oscilloscope]].
