摘要：
We experimentally demonstrated a three-photon interference on a beam splitter between a weak coherent state and a two-photon state produced by a spontaneous parametric down conversion. It indicates that a combined three-photon probability amplitude, which is formed by the two-photon state and one-photon from the coherent state, can be used to interfere with another three-photon probability amplitude from the coherent state. The observed three-photon coincidence rate showed that the interference depended on not only the relative phase between the two interference field but also the amplitude of the weak coherent state. This may introduce another free parameter for preparing quantum state, such as high N00N state, with quantum interference.
