The　W-type　entangled　states　are　very　useful　in　quantum　computing　and　quantum　communication.　Many　works　have　been　devoted　to　preparing　non-hybrid　W　states　(i.e.,　all　qubits　with　the　same　encoding)　in　various　physical　systems.　On　the　other　hand,　hybrid　W　entangled　states　are　key　ingredients　for　hybrid　quantum　computing　and　quantum　communication.　In　this　work,　we　propose　to　create　a　hybrid　W　entangled　state　of　three　photonic　qubits　each　with　a　different　encoding.　The　hybrid　W　state　is　prepared　by　employing　three　microwave　cavities　coupled　to　a　superconducting　flux　qutrit　(i.e.,　a　three-level　quantum　system).　This　proposal　requires　only　a　single　qutrit　to　couple　the　three　cavities,　thus　the　system　architecture　is　greatly　simplified.　Since　there　is　no　need　of　making　any　measurement,　the　W　state　is　created　deterministically.　As　an　example,　our　numerical　simulation　demonstrates　that　within　current　experimental　technology,　the　proposed　hybrid　W　state　can　be　created　with　a　high　fidelity.　This　proposal　is　universal　and　can　be　applied　to　create　the　proposed　hybrid　W　state,　by　using　three　microwave　or　optical　cavities　coupled　to　a　three-level　natural　or　artificial　atom.　©　2024,　The　Author(s),　under　exclusive　licence　to　Springer　Science+Business　Media,　LLC,　part　of　Springer　Nature.
