Abstract

A key challenge for quantum science and technology is to realise large-scale, precisely controllable, practical systems for non-classical secured communications, metrology and ultimately meaningful quantum simulation and computation. Optical frequency combs represent a powerful approach towards this, since they provide a very high number of temporal and frequency modes which can result in large-scale quantum systems. The generation and control of quantum optical frequency combs will enable a unique, practical and scalable framework for quantum signal and information processing. Here, we review recent progress on the realization of energy-time entangled optical frequency combs and discuss how photonic integration and the use of fiber-optic telecommunications components can enable quantum state control with new functionalities, yielding unprecedented capability.
