Photon number resolution without optical mode multiplication

Common methods to achieve photon number resolution rely on fast on-off single-photon detectors in conjunction with temporal or spatial mode multiplexing. Yet, these methods suffer from an inherent trade-off between the efficiency of photon number discrimination and photon detection rate. Here, we in...
