Observations of unusual diffraction and interference by two-photon correlation measurements are reported. The signal and idler beams produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion are sent in different directions, and detected by two distant pointlike photon counting detectors. A double slit or a single slit is inserted into the signal beam. Interference-diffraction patterns are observed in coincidences by scanning the detector in the idler beam.
