摘要：
In his famous book, The Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Dirac: stated that "...photon... interferes only with itself. Interference between two different photons never occurs." However, two-photon interference has been demonstrated experimentally Was Dirac wrong? We report an new experiment in this paper. It demonstrated that two-photon interference can not be considered the interference of two photons. "Two-photon" is not two photons. Two-photon is a single entity, which is just like a photon. We may call it biphoton. Dirac was correct. Biphoton interferes only with itself.
