| contents | Modulation conditioned on measurements on entangled photonic quantum states is a cornerstone technology of optical quantum information processing. Performing this task with low latency requires combining single-photon-level detectors with both electronic logic processing and optical modulation in close proximity. In the technologically relevant telecom wavelength band, detection of photonic quantum states is best performed with high-efficiency, low-noise, and high-speed detectors based on the photon-induced breakdown of superconductivity. Therefore, using these devices for feedforward requires mutual compatibility of all components under cryogenic conditions. Here, we demonstrate low-latency feedforward using a quasi-photon-number-resolved measurement on a quantum light source. Specifically, we use a multipixel superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, amplifier, logic, and an integrated electro-optic modulator in situ below 4K. We modulate the signal mode of a spontaneous parametric down-conversion source, conditional on a photon-number measurement of the idler mode, with a total latency of (23+/-3)ns. The photon-number discrimination actively manipulates the signal mode photon statistics, which is itself a central component in photonic quantum computing reliant on heralded single-photon sources. This represents an important benchmark for the fastest quantum photonic feedforward experiments comprising measurement, amplification, logic and modulation. This has direct applications in quantum computing, communication, and simulation protocols. |
