The technique of projective measurements in linear optics can provide an apparent, efficient nonlinear interaction between photons, which is technically problematic otherwise. We present an application of such a technique to prepare large photon-number path entanglement.

This paper addresses the formal equivalence between the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the Ramsey spectroscope, and a specific quantum logical gate. Based on this equivalence we introduce the quantum Rosetta Stone, and we describe a projective measurement scheme for generating the desired correlations between the interferometric input states in order to achieve Heisenberg-limited sensitivity.
We show how to create practical efficient quantum repeaters for optical quantum communication with double-photon guns. These latter devices create event-ready polarization-entangled photon pairs.
We show that fidelity, under the standard definitions is not sufficient to assess quantum sources, and we propose a new sufficient to assess quantum sources, and we propose a new measure of suitability that necessarily depends on the application for the source. We consider the performance of single-photon guns in the context of quantum key distribution (QKD) and interferometric quantum computation.
Propose a method for preparing path entangled states with a definite photon number larger than two that relies on projective measurements.
