dc.description.abstractObservations of unusual diffraction and interference by two-photon correlation measurements are reported. The signal and idler beams produced by spontaneous parametric down conversion are sent in different directions, and detected by two distant point-like photon counting detectors. A double-slit or a single-slit is inserted into the signal beam. Interference- diffraction patterns are observed in coincidences by scanning the detector in the idler beam.
dc.description.sponsorshipWe are thankful to T.B.Pittman, M.H.Rubin and C.O.Alley for useful discussions. This work is supported by the Office of Naval Research grant No. N00014-91-J-1430. We also thank the International Science Foundation for supporting the visit of D.N. Klyshko. After the submission of this paper we learned that a two-photon diffraction experiment was also performed in A.Zeilinger's group by using an optical grating. We would like to thank A.Zeilinger for bringing this to our attention [6].
