- Abstract summary: Conventional optical synthesis relies on the Fourier transform of light fields between time and frequency domains in one-dimensional space.
We carry out an experimental demonstration by manipulating the two-photon probability distribution of a biphoton in two-dimensional time and frequency space.
Our approach opens up a new pathway to tailor the temporal characteristics of a biphoton wave packet with high dimensional quantum-mechanical treatment.

- Abstract: Conventional optical synthesis, the manipulation of the phase and amplitude
of spectral components to produce an optical pulse in different temporal modes,
is revolutionizing ultrafast optical science and metrology. These technologies
rely on the Fourier transform of light fields between time and frequency
domains in one-dimensional space. However, within this treatment it is
impossible to incorporate the quantum correlation among photons. Here we expand
the Fourier synthesis into high dimensional space to deal with the quantum
correlation, and carry out an experimental demonstration by manipulating the
two-photon probability distribution of a biphoton in two-dimensional time and
frequency space. As a potential application, we show manipulation of a heralded
single-photon wave packet, which is never explained by the conventional
one-dimensional Fourier optics. Our approach opens up a new pathway to tailor
the temporal characteristics of a biphoton wave packet with high dimensional
quantum-mechanical treatment. We anticipate such high dimensional treatment of
light in time and frequency domains could bridge the research fields between
quantum optics and ultrafast optical measurements.
