A major topic in the field of quantum information is the development and investigation of quantum algorithms. Recent works have shown that the quantum analogue of a well known model in natural science, namely random walks, constitute a universal platform for performing computation.

Towards this application we present the first robust implementation of a coined quantum walk over five steps using only passive optical elements. By employing a fiber network loop we keep the amount of required resources constant as the walker’s position Hilbert space is increased. We observed a non-Gaussian distribution of the walker’s final position, thus characterizing a faster spread of the photon wave-packet in comparison to the classical random walk. The walk is realized for different coin settings and initial states, which opens the way for the implementation of a quantum walk-based search algorithm.
