文摘In this survey, we present single-photon states of electromagnetic felds, discuss discrete measurements of a single-photonfeld, show how a linear quantum system responds to a single-photon input, investigate how a coherent feedback network canbe used to manipulate the temporal pulse shape of a single-photon state, present single-photon flter and master equations,and fnally discuss the generation of Schrödinger cat states by means of photon addition and subtraction.
