In this thesis, we develop new methods to generate and analyze non-classical states of the light for quantum information processing. We show that the tools of discrete variables, where light is described in terms of photons, can be combined with a continuous approach, where one considers the quadratures of the electromagnetic field, to efficiently create, transform and analyze complex quantum states. Using ultrashort light pulses, we prepared optical "Schrödinger cats", defined as quantum superpositions of coherent states. In this case the Wigner function, describing the quantum statistics of the electromagnetic field, differs from a classical probability distribution and takes negative values. Time-resolved homodyne tomography allowed us t...
