- Abstract: Metasurfaces are a key photonic platform to manipulate classical light using
sub-wavelength structures with designer optical response. Static metasurfaces
have recently entered the realm of quantum photonics, showing their ability to
tailor nonclassical states of light. We introduce the concept of space-time
quantum metasurfaces for dynamical control of quantum light. We provide
illustrative examples of the impact of spatio-temporally modulated metasurfaces
in quantum photonics, including the creation of frequency-spin-path
hyperentanglement on a single photon and the realization of space-time
asymmetry at the deepest level of the quantum vacuum. Photonic platforms based
on the space-time quantum metasurface concept have the potential to enable
novel functionalities, such as on-demand entanglement generation for quantum
communications, nonreciprocal photon propagation for free-space quantum
isolation, and reconfigurable quantum imaging and sensing.

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.

We propose a protocol that is able to attain entangled states of $d$-dimensional systems through a quantum-walk-based it transfer & accumulate mechanism.
In particular, we illustrate a possible photonic implementation where the information is encoded in the orbital angular momentum and polarization degrees of freedom of single photons.
