Description

We propose a scheme to effectively generate a four-photon path-entangled number state [the NOON state i.e. (1)/√2 (|N, 0> + |), N>)] for the demonstration of four-photon de Broglie wavelength. Our scheme requires only linear optical elements, photon detectors and post-selections which are all within the reach of current technology. (general)
