We report experimental studies of the multi-photon quantum interference of atwo-mode three-photon entangled Fock state $|2, 1\rangle$ + $|1, 2\rangle$impinging on a two-port balanced beam splitter. When the distinguishabilitybetween the two input paths is increased, we observe a reduction followed by aresurgence of the quantum interference signal. We ascribe this unusual behaviorto the competition among contributions from distinct numbers of interferingphotons. Our theoretical analysis shows that this phenomenon will occur for anyentangled Fock-state input of the form $|N, M\rangle$ + $|M, N\rangle$ where M,N > 0. Our results are an indication that wave-particle duality may give riseto a wide range of, largely unexplored, phenomena in multi-particleinterference.

Reversed interplay of quantum interference and which-way information in multi-photon entangled states
