Two-Particle Bosonic-Fermionic Quantum Walk via Integrated Photonics
Open accessAbstract
Quantum walk represents one of the most promising resources for the simulation of physical quantum systems, and has also emerged as an alternative to the standard circuit model for quantum computing. Here we investigate how the particle statistics, either bosonic or fermionic, influences a two-particle discrete quantum walk. Such an experiment has been realized by exploiting polarization entanglement to simulate the bunching-antibunching feature of noninteracting bosons and fermions. To this scope a novel three-dimensional geometry for the waveguide circuit is introduced, which allows accurate polarization independent behavior, maintaining remarkable control on both phase and balancement.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
The paper experimentally implements a four-step discrete quantum walk in an integrated femtosecond-laser-written waveguide circuit and uses polarization-entangled photon pairs to simulate bosonic, fermionic, and anyonic two-particle statistics. Measured output distributions agree with theory with similarities above 0.97.
Key findings
- The device is polarization insensitive: single-photon distributions for horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and antidiagonal inputs match theory, with mean similarity \(S_{1ph}=0.992\pm0.002\); supplementary table values range from \(0.983\pm0.002\) to \(0.997\pm0.002\).
- Two-photon entangled states reproduce bosonic and fermionic walks: triplet \(|\Psi^+\rangle\) (\(\phi=0\)) gives \(S_{bos}=0.982\pm0.002\), and singlet \(|\Psi^-\rangle\) (\(\phi=\pi\)) gives \(S_{fer}=0.973\pm0.002\).
- Anyonic states \(|\Psi_\phi\rangle\) with \(\phi=\pi/4,\pi/2,3\pi/4\) show mixed bunching/antibunching, with similarities \(S^{\pi/4}_{any}=0.987\pm0.002\), \(S^{\pi/2}_{any}=0.988\pm0.001\), and \(S^{3\pi/4}_{any}=0.980\pm0.002\).
- The fermionic walk-position distribution has nonzero diagonal elements even though the probability of two fermions emerging from the same output spatial mode vanishes, due to the mapping between output ports and lattice positions.
Methods
- A four-step discrete quantum walk was implemented as a network of directional couplers in borosilicate glass using femtosecond laser writing; a three-dimensional tilted geometry (waveguides at \(62^\circ\), \(11\,\mu\text{m}\) spacing, interaction length \(2.1\,\text{mm}\)) gave polarization-insensitive balanced splitters, with a \(32\,\text{mm}\)-long chip.
- Polarization-entangled photon pairs at \(\lambda=806\,\text{nm}\) were generated by type-II non-collinear spontaneous parametric down conversion in a \(1.5\,\text{mm}\) BBO crystal pumped by a CW diode laser at \(P=50\,\text{mW}\); waveplates and a liquid-crystal phase shifter prepared Bell states, and interference filters set \(\Delta\lambda=6\,\text{nm}\).
- Output photons were collected by multimode fibers and detected via single-photon counting modules for single counts and two-photon coincidences; measured distributions were compared with theory using a similarity \(S\), a generalized fidelity, while changing the Bell-state phase \(\phi\) selected bosonic, fermionic, or anyonic behavior.
Limitations
- The paper does not state a dedicated limitations section. Evident from the text: the demonstration is limited to a four-step discrete quantum walk and a small integrated network, with no demonstration of scaling to many steps.
- Evident from the text: bosonic and fermionic statistics are simulated via polarization entanglement of photons rather than actual non-interacting bosonic or fermionic particles, and anyonic behavior is measured only for selected phases \(\phi=\pi/4,\pi/2,3\pi/4\).
- Stated in the paper: residual birefringence and slightly different guided modes for the two polarizations cause residual polarization dependence in directional couplers; the work mitigates this with the tilted three-dimensional geometry but does not claim perfect elimination.

“Furthermore, by considering a generic phase φ (dif- ferent from 0 and π), it is possible to simulate the be- haviour of the quantum walk of two anyons, particles with a non semi-integer spin that represent a generaliza- tion of fermions and bosons [30].”
What the sources say

The Introduction (p. 1) describes a continuous-time quantum walk of a particle on a one-dimensional lattice, and the Discussion (p. 7) addresses disorder and decoherence. Searches for anyons and a generic phase φ yielded no passage about simulating a two-anyon walk, so our copy does not verify the attributed claim. (LLM, conf=0.74)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
