Description

The package already supports the core SLH reduction rules: cascade, concatenate, and feedback. However, complicated networks still require manual port bookkeeping with integer indices, e.g.

feedback(G, 1 => 3, 3 => 5, 5 => 7)

This is powerful but easy to get wrong. A higher-level named-port interface would make large networks easier to read, debug, and teach.

net = Network()

add!(net, :source, coherent_drive(α), outputs=[:out])
add!(net, :cavity, one_sided_cavity(a; κ, Δ), inputs=[:in], outputs=[:out])
add!(net, :phase, phase_shifter(ϕ), inputs=[:in], outputs=[:out])

connect!(net, :source => :out, :cavity => :in)
connect!(net, :cavity => :out, :phase => :in)

G_eff = reduce(net)

And then we can add plotting

plot_network(net)
plot_reduction_steps(net)

Research direction

Start by locating the existing cascade, concatenate, and feedback entry points that implement the current SLH reductions. Define the scope of Network, add!, connect!, reduce, and the proposed plotting functions; done means named connections can express the example network and reduce through the existing rules, with plotting scope clarified.
