• Authors: Julien Pinske, Lucas Teuber, Stefan Scheel
• Abstract summary: We investigate an all-out optical setup allowing for generation of non-Abelian geometric phases on its large degenerate eigenspaces. We show that by injecting a larger number of photons into the optical setup, the degeneracy of eigenspaces scales rapidly. A degeneracy in the bright subspaces of the system, absent in any atomic analogue, allows for the generation of universal single-qubit manipulations.

• Abstract: We investigate an all-out optical setup allowing for generation of non-Abelian geometric phases on its large degenerate eigenspaces. The proposal has the form of an M -pod system and can be implemented in terms of integrated photonic waveguide structures. We show that by injecting a larger number of photons into the optical setup, the degeneracy of eigenspaces scales rapidly. After studying the spectral properties of our system for the general case, we show how arbitrary U(4) transformations can be generated on the dark subspace of an optical tripod filled with two photons. Moreover, a degeneracy in the bright subspaces of the system, absent in any atomic analogue, allows for the generation of universal single-qubit manipulations. Finally, we address the complexity issue of holonomic computation. Particularly, we show how two-qubit and three-qubit states can be implemented on a photonic tripod, where a natural multi-partite structure is inherited from the spatial mode structure of the waveguides.

  Photonic circuits that connect input and output modes according to a specific map serve as effective optical processors for both classical and quantum states of light. Here we present a photonic circuit technology implementing large-scale unitary maps, linking a single input to hundreds of output modes in a two-dimensional compact layout. The map corresponds to the outcome of a quantum walk of structured photons, realized experimentally through light propagation in three liquid-crystal metasurfaces.

  Multi-photon split states, where each photon is in a different spatial mode, represent an essential resource for various quantum applications. We formulate the general structure of their reduced spatial density matrices and identify the number of real and complex-valued independent coefficients. We show that this density matrix can be fully characterized by measuring correlations after photon interference in a static integrated circuit.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
