We demonstrate a Fock-state filter which is capable of preferentiallyblocking single photons over photon pairs. The large conditional nonlinearitiesare based on higher-order quantum interference, using linear optics, an ancillaphoton, and measurement. We demonstrate that the filter acts coherently byusing it to convert unentangled photon pairs to a path-entangled state. Wequantify the degree of entanglement by transforming the path information topolarisation information, applying quantum state tomography we measure a tangleof T=(20+/-9)%.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
