Abstract: We discuss a new and novel approach to the problem of creating a photon number resolving detector using the giant Kerr nonlinearities available in electromagnetically induced transparency. Our scheme can implement a photon number quantum non-demolition measurement with high efficiency (>99%) using only a few hundred atoms, and can distinguish 0, 1 and 2 photons.
