  We report the experimental demonstration of four-photon quantum interference
using telecom-wavelength photons. Realization of multi-photon quantum
interference is essential to linear optics quantum information processing and
measurement-based quantum computing. We have developed a source that
efficiently emits photon pairs in a pure spectrotemporal mode at a telecom
wavelength region, and have demonstrated the quantum interference exhibiting
the reduced fringe intervals that correspond to the reduced de Broglie
wavelength of up to the four photon `NOON' state. Our result should open a path
to practical quantum information processing using telecom-wavelength photons.
