Temporal-Mode Engineering for Multiplexed Microwave Photons and Mode-Selective Quantum State Transfer
This paper experimentally demonstrates the generation and mode-selective absorption of single microwave photons in four orthogonal temporal modes using a fixed-frequency transmon qubit, achieving high absorption efficiencies for matched modes while maintaining orthogonality for rejected photons, thereby validating temporal-mode engineering as a viable strategy for multiplexed quantum networks.
