摘要
With energy-time entangled biphoton sources as the optical carrier and time-correlated single-photon detection for high-speed radio frequency(RF)signal recovery,the method of quantum microwave photonics(QMWP)has presented the unprecedented potential of nonlocal RF signal encoding and efficient RF signal distilling from the dispersion interference associated with ultrashort pulse carriers.In this paper,its capability in microwave signal processing and prospective superiority are further demonstrated.Both QMWP RF phase shifting and transversal filtering functionality,which are the fundamental building blocks of microwave signal processing,are realized.Besides good immunity to the dispersion-induced frequency fading effect associated with the broadband carrier in classical MWP,a native two-dimensional parallel microwave signal processor is provided.These results well demonstrate the superiority of QMWP over classical MWP and open the door to new application fields of MWP involving encrypted processing.
