Entanglement generation and transport in time-multiplexed two photon quantum walks

Abstract

We use a time-multiplexed photonic quantum walk to entangle the polarization states of two photons. Our scheme is capable of generating states with variable degree of entanglement and distributes them across a large evolution network.

Two Photon Tripartite Entanglement Transfer via Time-Multiplexed Quantum Walks

Jonas Lammers, Federico Pegoraro, Philip Held +3 more

Photonic multidimensional quantum networks (MDQN), where individual subsystems are encoded using multiple degrees of freedom and photons, are an emerging platform for quantum algorithms because they offer high scalability. The distribution of non-classical and non-local correlations between the individual subsystems in an MDQN is of fundamental interest for many quantum protocols. Interestingly in an MDQN, the inseparability of two subsystems underlying entanglement can occur both between multiple distinct photons as well as between individual degrees of freedom associated with a single photon. In this work, we investigate the entanglement transfer enabled by the interplay of both entanglement between two distinct photons as well as inseparability between multiple degrees of freedom. For this purpose, we subject one photon of a polarization entangled two-photon pair to a discrete-time quantum walk introducing the position subsystem of the quantum walk as a third subsystem with qudit encoding. Here we study the resulting transfer of entanglement from the polarization degree of freedom, representing qubit encoding, towards the position degree of freedom, representing quidt encoding, via partial state tomography and correlation measurements.

Two Photon Tripartite Entanglement Transfer via Time-Multiplexed Quantum Walks

Jonas Lammers, Federico Pegoraro, Philip Held +3 more

We experimentally study the transfer of multiparticle qubit entanglement towards qubit-qudit entanglement via modal entanglement in a time-multiplexed discrete-time quantum walk. We verified this transfer via the von Neumann entropy and performing steering-like experiments.

Quantum walks with dynamical control: graph engineering, initial state preparation and state transfer

Thomas Nitsche, Fabian Elster, Jaroslav Novotný +4 more

Quantum walks are a well-established model for the study of coherent transport phenomena and provide a universal platform in quantum information theory. Dynamically influencing the walker's evolution gives a high degree of flexibility for studying various applications. Here, we present time-multiplexed finite quantum walks of variable size, the preparation of non-localised input states and their dynamical evolution. As a further application, we implement a state transfer scheme for an arbitrary input state to two different output modes. The presented experiments rely on the full dynamical control of a time-multiplexed quantum walk, which includes adjustable coin operation as well as the possibility to flexibly configure the underlying graph structures.
