A global quantum repeater network involving satellite-based links is likely to have
advantages over fiber-based networks in terms of long-distance communication, since the …

Satellite quantum key distribution (SatQKD) intermediated by a trusted satellite in a low-
Earth orbit to ground stations along the satellite's path allows remote users to connect …

Global quantum communications will enable long-distance secure data transfer, networked
distributed quantum information processing, and other entanglement-enabled technologies …

Long-distance entanglement is a very precious resource, but its distribution is very difficult
due to the exponential losses of light in optical fibres. A possible solution consists in the use …

Advances in quantum technologies are giving rise to a revolution in the way fundamental
physics questions are explored at the empirical level. At the same time, they are the seeds …

Recent experimental breakthroughs in satellite quantum communications have opened up
the possibility of creating a global quantum internet using satellite links. This approach …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) has matured in recent years from laboratory proof-of-
principle demonstrations to commercially available systems. One of the major bottlenecks is …
