Photon loss is the fundamental issue toward the development of quantum networks. To
circumvent loss quantum repeaters were proposed, which need high-performance quantum …

The recent launch of the Micius quantum-enabled satellite heralds a major step forward for
long-range quantum communication. Using single-photon discrete-variable quantum states …

Optical quantum communication utilizing satellite platforms has the potential to extend the
reach of quantum key distribution (QKD) from terrestrial limits of∼ 200 km to global scales …

Quantum key distribution,(QKD) is the first commercial application in the new field of
quantum information, with first routine applications in government and financial sectors and …

Global scale quantum communication links will form the backbone of the quantum internet.
However, exponential loss in optical fibres precludes any realistic application beyond few …

We study entanglement creation over global distances based on a quantum repeater
architecture that uses low-Earth-orbit satellites equipped with entangled photon sources, as …

The shift in the Communication paradigm from the bit to the qubit is increasingly exploited in
terrestrial long range links and networks, with strong potentials in secure communications …

This work presents a satellite alternative to quantum repeaters based on the terrestrial laid of
optical fiber, where the latter have the following disadvantages: a propagation speed (v) …

Satellite based quantum communication has been proven as a feasible way to achieve
global scale quantum communication network. Very recently, a low-Earth-orbit (LEO) …

Satellite-based quantum communication (QC) is an invaluable resource for the realization of
a quantum network at the global scale. In this regard, the use of satellites well beyond the …
