Photon number states via iterated photon addition in a loop

Published 27 Jun 2024 in quant-ph | (2406.19207v1)

Abstract: We consider the probabilistic generation of time-bin photon number states from a train of single photon pulses. We propose a simple interferometric feedback loop setup having a beam splitter and a possibly non-idel detector. This Hong-Ou-Mandel type scheme implements iterated photon additions. Our detailed study shows that up to 4 photons this simple setup can provide reasonable success probabilities and fidelities.
