LMI Seminar: Quantum temporal optics

Abstract:

Temporal optics is the temporal equivalent of spatial optics, and it enables ultrafast measurements of temporal events with high temporal resolution. Temporal optics was utilized for measuring ultrafast events beyond what is possible with regular methods. We developed quantum temporal optics devices which can measure with high temporal resolution single-shot quantum events. Moreover, temporal optics can go beyond what is possible with spatial optics, such as negative index devices and quantum elements. In the talk, I will present temporal optics and its adaptation to the quantum world.
