Abstract

We propose, analyze, and evaluate a technique for the joint measurement of time–frequency entanglement between two photons. In particular, we show that the frequency sum and time difference of two photons could be simultaneously measured through the sum-frequency generation process, without measuring the time or frequency of each individual photon. We demonstrate the usefulness of this technique by using it to design a time–frequency entanglement based continuous variable superdense coding and a quantum illumination protocol. Performance analysis of these two protocols suggests that the joint measurement of strong time–frequency entanglement of non-classical photon pairs can significantly enhance the performance of joint-measurement based quantum communication and metrology protocols.
