We present a second quantization description of frequency-based continuous variables
quantum computation in the subspace of single photons. For this, we define frequency and …

Optical-coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique that employs light in order to measure
the internal structure of semitransparent, eg biological, samples. It is based on the …

Shaping single-mode operation in high-power fibers requires a precise knowledge of the
gain-medium optical properties. This requires precise measurements of the refractive index …

Not much, in the end. Here we put forward some considerations on how Hong-Ou-Mandel
interferometry provides signatures of frequency entanglement in the two-photon state …

Interaction of light with media often occurs with a femtosecond response time. Its
measurement by conventional techniques requires the use of femtosecond lasers and …

We present a linear optical protocol for teleporting and correcting both temporal and
frequency errors in two time–frequency qubit states. The first state is the frequency (or time …

A core process in many quantum tasks is the generation of entanglement. It is being actively
studied in a variety of physical settings from simple bipartite systems to complex …

In the late 1980's, Ou and Mandel experimentally observed signal beatings by performing a
non-time-resolved coincidence detection of two photons having interfered in a balanced …

Exploiting two interfering fields which are initially in the same temporal mode but with the
spectra altered by propagating through different fibers, we characterize how the spectral …

This thesis tackles the time-frequency continuous variables degree of freedom encoding of
single photons and examine the formal mathematical analogy with the quadrature …
