Deterministic single photons via conditional quantum evolution
arXiv:quant-ph/0605098 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.013601
Abstract
A source of deterministic single photons is proposed and demonstrated by the application of a measurement-based feedback protocol to a heralded single photon source consisting of an ensemble of cold rubidium atoms. Our source is stationary and produces a photoelectric detection record with sub-Poissonian statistics.
