Contribution
It introduces a novel technique for conditional electro-optic modulation of single photons based on biphoton correlations, allowing precise control over photon wave functions.

Achieved arbitrary phase and amplitude control of single photons.
Demonstrated conditional modulation based on biphoton detection.
Abstract
We use the Stokes photon of a biphoton pair to set the time origin for electro-optic modulation of the wave function of the anti-Stokes photon thereby allowing arbitrary phase and amplitude modulation. We demonstrate conditional single-photon wave functions composed of several pulses, or instead, having gaussian or exponential shapes.
