    "abstract": "Interference of single-photon wave packets at a beam splitter usually leads\nto an anticorrelation of the light intensity in the two output ports of the\nbeam splitter. The effect may be regarded as ``bunching\u0027\u0027 of the photons at the\nbeam splitter and has widely been interpreted as a result of quantum mechanical\ninterference between the probability amplitudes of indistinguishable bosonic\nparticles. Here we show that when the wave packets are sufficiently distorted,\nthen the opposite behaviour is observed, i.e., simultaneous clicks of the\nphotodetectors in the two output ports are favoured, which may be regarded as\n``antibunching\u0027\u0027 of the photons at the beam splitter.",
