Quantum optics with time-frequency degrees of freedom of single photons

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We discuss the use of time and frequency degrees of freedom of single photons in quantum optics. Such a degree of freedom is generally discretized into modes for experimental reasons, but it is not a physical requirement. The origin of the quantumness of the time and frequency variables can be explained because of the non-commutativity of time and frequency operators - which can be defined properly- when restricted to the one photon per mode subspace. As a consequence, We will show that frequency and time operators can be used to define a universal set of gates in this particular subspace and provide an experimental implementation of such a universal set of gates.
