Spatially resolved interference is observed between high-order harmonics generated in two longitudinally separated gas targets. High-contrast modulations in the intensity of each harmonic order up to the cutoff are observed on-axis in the far field of the source as the separation between the gas targets is increased. For low-order harmonics, additional off-axis modulations are observed, which are attributed to the interference between the contributions from the long quantum trajectories from each gas target. The inherent synchronization of this setup offers the prospect for high-stability metrology of quantum states with ultrafast temporal resolutions.
