Encoding quantum information in continuous variables is intrinsically faulty. Nevertheless, redundant qubits can be used for error correction, as proposed by Gottesman et al. [Phys. Rev. A 64 012310 (2001)]. We show how to experimentally implement this encoding using time-frequency continuous degrees of freedom of photon pairs produced by spontaneous parametric down conversion. We illustrate our results using an integrated AlGaAs photon-pair source. We show how single-qubit gates can be implemented and finally propose a theoretical scheme for correcting errors in circuit-like and measurement-based architectures.
