    "abstract": "We consider multimode two-photon interference at a beam splitter by photons\ncreated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The resulting interference\npattern is shown to depend upon the transverse spatial symmetry of the pump\nbeam. In an experiment, we employ the first-order Hermite-Gaussian modes in\norder to show that, by manipulating the pump beam, one can control the\nresulting two-photon interference behavior. We expect these results to play an\nimportant role in the engineering of quantum states of light for use in quantum\ninformation processing and quantum imaging.",
