Multiparticle quantum interference is important for our understanding and exploitation of quantum information and for fundamental tests of quantum mechanics [1]. An example for multi-partite correlations is the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state [2]. In a GHZ-state, three particles are correlated while no pairwise correlation is found. Those strong correlations have been studied theoretically since 1990 but no three-photon GHZ interferometer has been realized experimentally. Here we demonstrate three-photon interference that does not originate from two-photon or single photon interference. We observe phase-dependent variation of three-photon coincidences with (90.5 ± 5.0)% visibility [3] in a generalized Franson interferometer [4] using energy-time entangled photon triplets [5].
