Eigenvalue measurement of topologically protected edge states in split-step quantum walks

Eigenvalue measurement of topologically protected edge states in split-step quantum walks

We study topological phenomena of quantum walks by implementing a novel protocol that extends the range of accessible properties to the eigenvalues of the walk operator. To this end, we experimentally realise for the first time a split-step quantum walk with decoupling, which allows for investigatin...
