Recently, the research on the manipulation and control of single photon has aroused great attentions due to its unique physical properties and potential application prospects. In this project, we will conduct the research on the manipulation and control of single photon using the technique of polarization selective Kerr-phase shift, which includes: (1) Propose theoretical configurations to realize the manipulation and control of single photon using the technique of polarization selective Kerr-phase shift; (2) Study the nonlinear propagation effect of a wave packet at single photon level in micro-waveguide structures; (3) Theoretically analyze the influence of collective effect on quantum optics or nonlinear optics phenomena. The implementation of this project has a magnificent meaning and application prospects in many research areas, including quantum manipulation and control of single photon, cavity quantum electrodynamics, waveguide quantum electrodynamics, generation of non-classical light source.
