Abstract

We report on an experimental investigation of a single-photon source based on a quantum interference effect first demonstrated by Koashi, Matsuoka and Hirano (1996 Phys. Rev. A 53 3621). For certain types of measurement-based quantum information processing applications this technique may be useful as a high rate, but random, source of single photons.
