    "abstract": "The Visible Light Photon Counter (VLPC) has the capability to discriminate\nphoton number states, in contrast to conventional photon counters which can\nonly detect the presence or absence of photons. We use this capability, along\nwith the process of parametric down-conversion, to generate photon number\nstates. We experimentally demonstrate generation of states containing 1,2,3 and\n4 photons with high fidelity. We then explore the effect the detection\nefficiency of the VLPC has on the generation rate and fidelity of the created\nstates.",
