Abstract
When a one-photon state is mixed with a (separate) weak coherent state at a beamsplitter the probability for detecting one photon in each beamsplitter output approaches zero due to destructive interference. We demonstrate this non-classical interference effect using pulse-gated single photons and weak mode-locked laser pulses.
