The [[bundler]]—or emitter of $N$-photon bundles—is an hypothetic device (as of today, still only a theoretical design) that releases all its light in groups (or ''bundles'') of exactly&nbsp;$N$ photons, for a tuneable integer~$N=1, 2, 3, etc.$ The particular case $N=1$ is well-known as the [[single-photon source]] and thus would not qualify as a bundler. The case&nbsp;$N=2$ is also very particular and emission of this type has been approached through a variety of mechanisms. What makes the bundler special, is $N=3$ and above.

The bundler—or emitter of $N$-photon bundles—is an hypothetic device (as of today, still only a theoretical design) that releases all its light in groups (or bundles) of exactly $N$ photons, for a tuneable integer $N=1, 2, 3, etc.$ The particular case $N=1$ is well-known as the single-photon source and thus would not qualify as a bundler. The case $N=2$ is also very particular and emission of this type has been approached through a variety of mechanisms. What makes the bundler special, is $N=3$ and above.
