• Abstract: Contextuality is well known as a vital resource for locating the boundary between classical and quantum theories, as well as identifying tasks showing quantum advantage. In a surge of recent works [Schmid and Spekkens, Phys.Rev.X 8, 011015 (2018); Mukherjee, Naonit and Pan, Phys.Rev.A 106, 012216 (2022); Flatt, Lee, Carceller, Brask and Bae, PRX QUANTUM 3, 030337 (2022)], it has also been shown that contextuality is the crucial resource in quantum state discrimination (QSD) tasks, including minimum error discrimination (MED) and maximum confidence discrimination (MCD), together with many other figure-of-merits. Despite the fundamental progress made by those aforementioned works, none of them mention about how to realize their fancy proposals, which is doubtlessly necessary for the final goal of applying this resource in real QSD tasks. In this paper, we report the first experimental demonstration of contextual advantage in both MED and MCD for three mirror-symmetric states using interferometric quantum walk, which can be easily generalized to any figure-of-merit in QSD. Our experiment agrees well with the result of theoretical simulation, and also shows the great potentiality of leveraging this method to explore a simpler version for the witness of contextuality, as well as demonstrating quanutm advantage of various tasks that require QSD.
