Abstract

We study the cavity-based parametric downconversion (PDC) process as a source of photon Fock states using Monte Carlo simulation with realistic experimental settings. By controlling the circulation of one PDC daughter field in the cavity conditioned upon photon-number-resolved measurement of its twin, we demonstrate that rate of generating a desired Fock state is up to ten times higher than for a comparable single-pass spontaneous PDC source.
