QUESS Operations at Chinese Space Science Mission Center

Ju Su, Liu Yurong, Hu Tai

Quantum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS) mission is one of the scientific space science missions within the framework of the Strategic Pioneer Program on Space Science of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), is an international research project in the field of quantum physics.QUESS mission is designed to test and facilitate the quantum encryption and quantum teleportation technology through quantum optics experiment between space and ground.The two main scientific objectives of QUESS are to establish 'hack-proof' quantum communications by transmitting uncrackable keys from space to the ground and provide insights into the strangest phenomenon in quantum physicsquantum entanglement in space scale.In order to achieve the objectives, four experiments will be performed: quantum key distribute, entangled photon transmit, quantum teleportation and high rate coherent laser communication.Built by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the quantum science experiment satellite will be the first to test the transfer of quantum information between space and ground.There are four main payloads on-board the satellite: a quantum key transceiver, an entanglement distribution transmitter, a space born entangled-photon source and an experimental control processor.Meanwhile， five telescope stations which are built at Xinglong, Nanshan, Delingha, Lijiang, and Ali, for performing the four experiments with the satellite.QUESS was launched in Aug.16, 2016.China Space Science Mission Center as one of 4 the composition of QUESS ground segments is responsible for the operation of the on-board payloads.The satellite, the ground segment, the basic processes, the mission preparation and the satellite commissioning are described in the paper.

Progress of the Quantum Experiment Science Satellite (QUESS) Micius Project

Jian-Wei Pan

By using satellites, ultra-long-distance quantum communication and tests of quantum foundations could be achieved at a global scale. The Quantum Experiment Science Satellite (QUESS) in China, also called Micius, one of the scientific satellite programs in the Strategic Priority Program on space science, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was launched on 16 August 2016. There are totally 4 scientific payloads. We give a brief overview of the quantum experiment science satellite project and present most recent science results. The main scientific goal of the quantum experiment science satellite was achieved in 2017. Here, we introduce the latest achievements in satellite-based quantum communication and large-scale tests of quantum foundations obtained by Micius.

A trial called quess [The Big Picture]

THE WORLD'S FIRST satellite built specifically with hackers in mind was launched from China in August. The Chinese and Austrian researchers behind the Quantum Experiments at Space Scale, or Quess, hope their work will help improve digital encryption by yielding hack-proof key distribution. Part of the Quess experiment will focus on mastering a phenomenon called quantum entanglement for encryption.
