Abstract
A quantum computing system is set forth, comprising a photon source for generating short duration single photon pulses, at least one temporal interferometric network for time-bin encoding each short duration single photon pulse in a single spatial mode, wherein the temporal interferometric network includes at least one optical switch, at least one birefringent material and at least one polarization element, and a photon detector for detecting time-of-arrival of photons output from the temporal interferometric network to measure the state of the photons.
