    "abstract": "The interference of two independent single-photon pulses impinging on a beam\nsplitter is analysed in a generalised time-resolved manner. Different aspects\nof the phenomenon are elaborated using different representations of the\nsingle-photon wave packets, like the decomposition into single-frequency field\nmodes or spatio-temporal modes matching the photonic wave packets. Both\nrepresentations lead to equivalent results, and a photon-by-photon analysis\nreveals that the quantum-mechanical two-photon interference can be interpreted\nas a classical one-photon interference once a first photon is detected. A novel\ntime-dependent quantum-beat effect is predicted if the interfering photons have\ndifferent frequencies. The calculation also reveals that full two-photon fringe\nvisibility can be achieved under almost any circumstances by applying a\ntemporal filter to the signal.",
