We demonstrate real-time single photon heralding from a bulk nonlinearity using an efficient and low-noise photon number-resolving superconducting nanowire detector. A maximum reduction of 0.118 ± 0.012 in the photon g 2 (0) cross-correlation is obtained, indicating a strong suppression of multi-photon emissions. We analytically model our experimental results using a phase-space formalism and obtain excellent agreement. Our experiment, built using fiber-coupled and off-theshelf components, delineates a path toward engineering ideal sources of single photons.
