Abstract
While the existence of disorders is commonly believed to weaken the unique properties of quantum systems, recent progress has predicted that it can exhibit a counterintuitive enhanced effect on the behavior of entanglement generation, which is even independent of the chosen initial conditions and physical platforms. However, to achieve a maximally entangled state in such disordered quantum systems, the key limitation of this is the scarcity of an infinite coherence time, which makes its experimental realization challenging. Here, we experimentally investigate the entanglement entropy dynamics in a photonic quantum walk with disorders in time. Through the incorporation of a classic optimization algorithm, we experimentally demonstrate that such disordered systems can relax to a high-entanglement hybrid state at any given time step. Moreover, this prominent entangling ability is universal for a wide variety of initial conditions. Our results may inspire achieving a well-controlled entanglement generator for quantum computation and information tasks.
