Abstract A photon source with high-dimensional entanglement is able to bring increasing capacity of information in quantum communication. The dimensionality is determined by the chosen degree of freedom of the photons and is limited by the complexity of the physical systems. Here we propose a new type of high-dimensional entangled photon source, generated via path-indistinguishable scheme from a two-dimensional atomic cloud, which is prepared in a magneto-optical trap. To verify the photon source, we demonstrate experimentally the quantum state of the single photons heralded by its partner photon, with homodyne tomographic technology.
