In quantum computation using photons, various degrees of freedom of photons such as polarization and time bins are used. Although the use of time-frequency degree of freedom is relatively error-free, it requires active devices such as fast switches for quantum operations. In this study, we show that quantum computation can be performed only by passive devices such as time-resolving photon detectors and optical interleavers by using quantum frequency comes consisting of a single photon as a qubit.
