dc.description.abstractTemporal modes are a viable framework for quantum information science and technology, being well suited for use in integrated photonics and single-mode fiber networks. Techniques for temporal mode transformations have been developed that allow for control over the mode structure, as well as beam-splitter like transforma tions between temporal modes. However, no scheme to perform targeted multi mode unitary transformations on temporal modes has yet been achieved. In this dissertation we present a pathway toward implementing programmable arbitrary unitary transformations on temporal modes using phase-only operations. We present techniques to measure and characterize phase modulations via electro-optic phase modulation. We demonstrate the ability to generate and measure arbitrary phase modulations in the time and frequency domains using photonic arbitrary waveform generation.
