1. A method of generating an m photon entangled state, the method comprising:
iteratively performing a set of operations including:
performing a respective detection operation that includes detecting zero or more photons using a set of detectors coupled with a first plurality of modes;
determining, based on at least a number of photons detected by the set of detectors, whether photons remaining in the first plurality of modes after the respective detection operation are in an m photon entangled state or a state convertible to the m photon entangled state; and
in accordance with a determination that the photons remaining in the first plurality of modes after the respective detection operation are in the m photon entangled state or the state convertible to the m photon entangled state, ceasing iteratively performing the set of operations and outputting the photons remaining in the first plurality of modes.
