Similar to interferences in classical optics that can combine two waves to produce no output or more output than input, multiphoton interferences can produce, for instance, anti‐bunched light by admixing squeezed (bunched) and laser (uncorrelated) light. The general case of quantum‐field interferences, that can be self‐ or externally realized in coherently driven quantum sources, leads to a classification of conventional and unconventional photon statistics, as discussed by Elena del Valle and co‐workers in article number 1900279.
