We study a general theory on the interference of a two-photon wavepacket in a beam splitter. The theory is carried out in the Schr\"{o}dinger picture so that the quantum nature of the two-photon interference is explicitly presented. We find…

Recently, the coupling of two different modes of a homogeneous plasmonic particle and their sharply varying spectra were elucidated as Fano resonances; an 'interference' of two spatially orthogonal modes driving each other. On the other…
