Unity-Efficiency Parametric Down-Conversion via Amplitude Amplification

We propose an optical scheme, employing optical parametric down-converters interlaced with nonlinear sign gates (NSGs), that completely converts an n-photon Fock-state pump to n signal-idler photon pairs when the down-converters’ crystal lengths are chosen appropriately. The proof of this assertion...
