Abstract
Continuous-variable quantum information and communication technologies rely on encoding information in the amplitude and phase quadratures of the field. Nonlinear parametric processes enable the generation of quantum states of light involving large numbers of spectro-temporal modes, which can be mapped and analyzed in terms of quantum networks exhibiting Gaussian quantum entanglement. Such networks can be exploited for quantum communication and information technologies. Spatial, spectral, and temporal multiplexing will be investigated for the generation of these large networks, as well as the introduction of operations that provide the required non-Gaussian features for quantum computing.
