On the Shape of the Photon — •Yaron Silberberg — Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel

In many ultrafast optics laboratories we routinely synthesized shaped femtosecond pulses with high precision to serve as the driving fields for coherent control experiments. Can we shape single photons? How short is a photon? I shall discuss how ideas borrowed from quantum control with classical pulses can be extended to nonclassical light sources, and in particular show how one can use pulse shaping tools on single photons.
