Abstract
The Letter describes a technique for the spontaneous generation of chirped time-energy entangled photons. Transmitting either photon through an appropriate dispersive medium results in a temporally compressed, transform limited biphoton. At maximum bandwidth, the biphoton is a single cycle in length, with a waveform that has the same characteristic shape as a classical single-cycle pulse.
