Experimental Certification of High-Dimensional Entanglement with Randomized Measurements

High-dimensional entangled states offer higher information capacity and stronger resilience to noise compared with two-dimensional systems. However, the large number of modes and sensitivity to random rotations complicate experimental entanglement certification. Here, we experimentally certify three-dimensional entanglement in a five-dimensional two-photon state using 800 Haar-random measurements implemented via a ten-plane programmable light converter. We further demonstrate the robustness of this approach against random rotations, certifying high-dimensional entanglement despite arbitrary phase randomization of the optical modes. This method, which requires no common reference frame between parties, opens the door for high-dimensional entanglement distribution through long-range random links.
