“…However, that does not mean that such state will also show nonclassical features, and the elucidation of genuine quantum effects in a given experiment is often very involved; see e.g. the discussion around dispersion cancellation with entangled photons (Franson, 1992;Steinberg et al, 1992b), or quantum imaging Valencia et al, 2005).…”

“…Besides possible technological applications such as all-optical transistors (Shomroni et al, 2014) or photonic quantum information processing (Braunstein and Kimble, 2000;Franson, 1989;Jennewein et al, 2000;Knill et al, 2001;Kok et al, 2007;O'Brien et al, 2003;U'Ren et al, 2003), these also show great promise as novel spectroscopic tools. Parameters of the photon field wavefunction can serve as control knobs that supplement classical parameters such as frequencies and time delays.…”

“…Besides, their nonclassical bandwidth properties have long been recognized as a potential resource in various "quantum-enhanced" applications, where the quantum correlations shared between the photon pairs may offer an advantage. For example when one photon from an entangled pair is sent through a dispersive medium, the leading-order dispersion is compensated in photon coincidence measurements -an effect called dispersion cancellation (Abouraddy et al, 2002;Franson, 1992;Larchuk et al, 1995;Minaeva et al, 2009;Steinberg et al, 1992a,b). In the field of quantum-enhanced measurements, entanglement may be employed to enhance the precision of the measurement beyond the Heisenberg limit (Giovannetti et al, 2004(Giovannetti et al, , 2006Mitchell et al, 2004).…”

“…With entangled photons, such signals scale linearly (Dayan et al, 2004Friberg et al, 1985;Georgiades et al, 1995;Javanainen and Gould, 1990). This allows to carry out microscopy and lithography (Boto et al, 2000) applications at much lower photon fluxes.…”

Conventional nonlinear spectroscopy uses classical light to detect matter properties through the variation of its response with frequencies or time delays. Quantum light opens up new avenues for spectroscopy by utilizing parameters of the quantum state of light as novel control knobs and through the variation of photon statistics by coupling to matter. We present an intuitive diagrammatic approach for calculating ultrafast spectroscopy signals induced by quantum light, focusing on applications involving entangled photons with nonclassical bandwidth properties -known as "time-energy entanglement". Nonlinear optical signals induced by quantized light fields are expressed using time ordered multipoint correlation functions of superoperators in the joint field plus matter phase space. These are distinct from Glauber's photon counting formalism which use normally ordered products of ordinary operators in the field space. One notable advantage for spectroscopy applications is that entangled photon pairs are not subjected to the classical Fourier limitations on the joint temporal and spectral resolution. After a brief survey of properties of entangled photon pairs relevant to their spectroscopic applications, different optical signals, and photon counting setups are discussed and illustrated for simple multi-level model systems.

“…Separately, it has been demonstrated that the entangled photon pairs produced in spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) may also be used to cancel some of the effects of frequency dispersion [10][11][12] or spatial dispersion (aberration) [13][14][15] in interferometer experiments.…”
