Abstract: We investigate quantum entanglement of three photons performing discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) on the nearest-neighbor sites of a square lattice. Such a DTQW setup has already been proposed to be realizable using linear optical elements. Each lattice site corresponds to the sequential action of a half-wave plate and a polarizing beam splitter. Two-dimensional DTQW can be mapped to an effective one-dimensional DTQW with a four-sided coin that depends on the polarization and direction of motion of the photons. It is known that such a system is capable to spatially entangle two photons, prepared in a separable state initially. We generalize the result to the case of three photons to explore if distinct entanglement classes, namely W and GHZ states, can be produced by this setup. In addition to spatial entanglement, we analyze the possibility of entanglement in the polarization basis, too. Our results can be significant for a simple and fast generation of multipartite entangled photonic states demanded by practical quantum technology applications.

Deterministic photonic entanglement arising from non-Abelian quantum holonomy [0.0]
We develop a protocol for creating and manipulating highly-entangled superpositions of well-controlled states of light. Our calculations indicate that a subset of such entangled superpositions are maximally-entangled, "volume-law" states. We envision that this entangling mechanism could be utilized for realizing universal, entangling quantum gates with linear photonic elements alone.

Engineering quantum states from a spatially structured quantum eraser [0.0]
Quantum interference can be enabled by projecting the quantum state onto ambiguous properties that render the photons indistinguishable. By combining these ideas, here we design and experimentally demonstrate a simple and robust scheme that tailors quantum interference to engineer photonic states. We believe these spatially-engineered multi-photon quantum states may be of significance in fields such as quantum metrology, microscopy, and communications.

Vortices are hallmark of nontrivial dynamics in nonlinear physics. We report on the realization of quantum vortices resulting from a strong photon-photon interaction in a quantum nonlinear optical medium. For three photons, the formation of vortex lines and a central vortex ring attests to a genuine three-photon interaction.

Hyperentanglement in structured quantum light [50.591267188664666]
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.
