We experimentally demonstrate sum-frequency generation (SFG) with entangled
photon-pairs, generating as many as 40,000 SFG photons per second, visible even
to the naked eye. The nonclassical nature of the interaction is exhibited by a
linear intensity-dependence of the nonlinear process. The key element in our
scheme is the generation of an ultrahigh flux of entangled photons while
maintaining their nonclassical properties. This is made possible by generating
the down-converted photons as broadband as possible, orders of magnitude wider
than the pump. This approach is readily applicable for other nonlinear
interactions, and may be applicable for various quantum-measurement tasks.
