Quantum Communications in New Telecommunications Systems

Gianfranco Cariolaro

Costantino Agnesi

Quantum Communication is a groundbreaking technology that promises to revolutionize our current telecommunication systems. However, being a relatively new field, many challenges are yet to be confronted. This Doctoral thesis is dedicated to the advancement of Quantum Communications for fundamental studies and applications. Here, satellite-based, free-space and optical-fiber links are exploited to test and develop different Quantum Communication protocols. Different technologies, in particular free-space optics, fiber-based components and silicon photonic integrated circuits, are adopted to manipulate the quantum states of light. Different types of studies are performed ranging from fundamental tests of physics, to technological advancements, up till the development of fully-functioning Quantum Key Distribution systems. The work described in this thesis, I hope, represents a substantial contribution in the effort to transition Quantum Communications from the laboratories to a wide-spread deployment in future telecommunication infrastructures.

We report on the Madrid Quantum Communication Infrastructure, which demonstrates that a telecommunications network can also host quantum communications in a unified, logical and physical infrastructure. Using new Quantum Key Distribution systems paired with modern networking paradigms, we demonstrate a high technology readiness level of QKD installing the network in production facilities and running relevant use cases.
