  We describe an experiment in which a physical qubit represented by the
polarization state of a single-photon was probabilistically encoded in the
logical state of two photons. The experiment relied on linear optics,
post-selection, and three-photon interference effects produced by a parametric
down-conversion photon pair and a weak coherent state. An interesting
consequence of the encoding operation was the ability to observe entangled
three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states.
