Phase-only shaping of light pulses for applications in quantum technologies

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Smart growth - PL - ERDF (2014PL16RFOP001), managing authority: Ministerstwo obsługujące ministra właściwego ds. rozwoju regionalnego. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Trójmiejski (NUTS PL633); Poland. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 648,009.97; EU co-financing EUR 648,009.97 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2019-01-01 to 2023-09-30.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): Optical pulses form the backbone of photonic technologies. Their key characteristics are their temporal profile and their frequency spectrum. Experimentally, only one of these two parameters can be easily accessed, due to the incompatibility of time and frequency resolutions of detection and manipulation devices. The power of quantum mechanics manifests itself chiefly through the superposition principle: if two states of a system are valid quantum states, then their superposition is also a valid quantum state. The emerging quantum technologies are based on the ability to create, manipulate and detect quantum superpositions, which relies on the ability to access conjugate variables, such as the time and frequency for single-photon pulses. Here we will use novel tools to experimentally access temporal and spectral characteristics of quantum light pulses. We will manipulate and detect their quantum superpositions, and demonstrate their applications in quantum networks and metrology.
