• Abstract: Quantum computers comprise elementary logic gates that initialize, control and measure delicate quantum states. One of the most important gates is the controlled-NOT, which is widely used to prepare two-qubit entangled states. The controlled-NOT gate for single photon qubits is normally realized as a six-mode network of individual beamsplitters. This architecture however, utilizes only a small fraction of the circuit for the quantum operation with the majority of the footprint dedicated to routing waveguides. Quantum walks are an alternative photonics platform that use arrays of coupled waveguides with a continuous interaction region instead of discrete gates. While quantum walks have been successful for investigating condensed matter physics, applying the multi-mode interference for logical quantum operations is yet to be shown. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a two-qubit controlled-NOT gate in an array of lithium niobate-on-insulator waveguides. We engineer the tight-binding Hamiltonian of the six evanescently-coupled single-mode waveguides such that the multi-mode interference corresponds to the linear optical controlled-NOT unitary. We measure the two-qubit transfer matrix with $0.938\pm0.003$ fidelity, and we use the gate to generate entangled qubits with $0.945\pm0.002$ fidelity by preparing the control photon in a superposition state. Our results highlight a new application for quantum walks that use a compact multi-mode interaction region to realize large multi-component quantum circuits.
