We experimentally demonstrate sum-frequency generation (SFG) with entangledphoton-pairs, generating as many as 40,000 SFG photons per second, visible evento the naked eye. The nonclassical nature of the interaction is exhibited by alinear intensity-dependence of the nonlinear process. The key element in ourscheme is the generation of an ultrahigh flux of entangled photons whilemaintaining their nonclassical properties. This is made possible by generatingthe down-converted photons as broadband as possible, orders of magnitude widerthan the pump. This approach is readily applicable for other nonlinearinteractions, and may be applicable for various quantum-measurement tasks.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Accepted to Phys. Rev. Let
