We show that distances of objects at cosmological distances can be measured directly using interferometry. Our approach to interferometric parallax comes from analysis of 4-point amplitude and intensity correlations that can be generated from pairs of well-separated detectors. The baseline required to measure cosmological distances of Gigaparsec order are within the reach of the next generation of space-borne detectors. The semi-classical interpretation of intensity correlations uses a notion of a single photon taking two paths simultaneously. Semi-classically a single photon can simultaneously enter four detectors separated by an astronomical unit, developing correlations feasible to measure with current technology.
