We demonstrate high-speed detection of low-photon waveforms using slow off-the-shelf detectors. Using a detector with a distorted instrument response function spanning > 1 ns, we recover single photon waveforms at a resolution of 60 ps.

We propose and demonstrate a new and simple concept of reconfigurable photonic generation of arbitrary RF waveforms, based on a recirculating frequency shifting loop seeded with a CW laser. We report arbitrary RF waveforms with specifications beyond state of the art photonic AWG techniques.

Integrated photonic arbitrary waveform generators allow significant advancements in scalability and performance of single qubit addressing in neutral atom quantum computers. In this work, we showcase a hybrid Si3N4/LiNbO3electro-optic circuit for single-atom controll, achieving switching speeds surpassing 15 GHz bandwidth and 50 dB extinction ratio.
