Wehave previously shown that two-photon absorption and the quantum Zenoeffect can be used to make deterministic quantum logic devicesfrom an otherwise linear optical system. Here we show thatthis type of quantum Zeno gate can be used withadditional two-photon absorbing media and weak laser pulses to makea heralded single photon source. A source of this kindis expected to have a number of practical advantages thatmake it well suited for large-scale quantum-information-processing applications.
