Photon Temporal Modes: A Complete Framework for Quantum Information Science
Benjamin Brecht, Dileep V. Reddy, Christine Silberhorn, M. G. Raymer · Physical Review X · 2015
Because photons interact weakly with themselves and experience low decoherence, they are a promising avenue for quantum information science. Theorists show how the temporal modes of single-photon states can form an alphabet for communication across a quantum information network.
