• Abstract: Electro-optic time lenses are promising experimental components for photonic spectral-temporal processing of quantum information. We report a stable method to realize an electro-optic time lens, which relies on the amplification of an electronic response of a fast photodiode. The method does not require a repetitive clock and may be applied to aperiodic optical signals. We experimentally demonstrate the approach using single-photon pulses and directly verify its aperiodicity. The approach will enable construction of complex electro-optic temporal optical systems.

  We present experimental investigations of energy-momentum conservation and the corresponding dispersion relation on the single particle level, achieved through coincidence detection of electron-photon pairs. This not only enables unprecedented clarity in detecting weak signals otherwise obscured by non-radiative processes but also provides a new experimental pathway to explore entanglement within electron-photon pairs.

  Quantum light is increasingly recognized as a promising resource for developing optical measurement techniques. Recent advances in quantum optics technology have made it possible to manipulate the spectral and temporal properties of entangled photons. We propose time-resolved spectroscopy in which specific signal contributions are selectively enhanced by harnessing the nonclassical correlations of entangled photons.

  Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources. We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.

  Spectral control in solid state platforms such as color centers, rare earth ions, and quantum dots is attractive for realizing such applications on-chip. We propose the use of frequency-modulated optical transitions for spectral engineering of single photon emission. Our results suggest that frequency modulation is a powerful technique for the generation of new light states with unprecedented control over the spectral and temporal properties of single photons.
