The concept of quantum walks has become a promising candidate for quantum computation and simulations of quantum transfer. Although theoretical models already exploit the power of higher-dimensional quantum walks all experimental implementations so far were limited to a spread in a single dimension.

Here we present the first implementation of a quantum walk in a scalable and flexible two-dimensional system. We demonstrate a highly coherent evolution of photons in an optical fiber network, allowing for a spread over up to 169 positions after 12 steps. Having full control over the quantum coin enables us to simulate entanglement in bipartite systems with conditioned interactions including non-linearities or two-particle scattering.
