Temporal multiplexing
Temporal multiplexing is a technique used in systems like communications or quantum technologies to share a resource over time. Instead of using multiple channels simultaneously, it divides the available time into different slots, and each signal or data set is transmitted in its designated time period. This approach allows multiple signals to use the same physical medium without interfering with each other. By efficiently scheduling the transmission times, temporal multiplexing maximizes resource utilization and increases data throughput, making systems more efficient and capable of handling larger volumes of information.
