The generation of higher-order Fock states is important for several physical applications, such as fundamental studies of physics and quantum metrology. Usually, the means of choice to generate heralded higher-order Fock states is a dispersion-engineered parametric down conversion (PDC) process. These processes feature a high overall brightness, however the probability to generate specific higher-order Fock states decreases with increasing state size; large states are generated only at low rates. To overcome this challenge, we utilize a time-multiplexed quantum feedback, which introduces self-stimulation in the PDC process. This leads to a successive build up of higher order Fock states due to a coherent addition of photons. Therefore, within this setup, it is possible to generate higher-order Fock states with higher rates compared to a single PDC source. In this talk, we report on the current status of this project.
