Artistic representation of the implemented photonic experiment in which entanglement between the polarizations of single photons is mediated by the independent degree of freedom of the photon path. Notably, mediated entanglement represents a core principle of future experiments using massive particles, aiming to probe for the first time the quantumness of gravity.
