Metrology for Quantum Communication

Quantum communication exploits the transmission of information encoded by single quanta or via the quantum mechanical effects superposition, interference, and entanglement. In addition to secure message transmission, quantum communication will include future capabilities for the distribution of entangled states in the areas of communication, sensor technology and computing and is therefore the basis for long-term developments in quantum technology as a whole. However, current applications of quantum communication are limited, mainly due to the degradation of quantum information during transmission via fiber optics or satellite. Advancing the underlying metrology for quantum communication is crucial to paving the way for robust and certified commercial quantum communication systems. The Optics division at PTB is involved in a number of projects and initiatives at national and European level to promote improved metrology for quantum communication.

Metrology for Quantum Communications

Christopher J. Chunnilall

Industrial technologies based on the production, manipulation, and detection of single and entangled photons are emerging, and quantum key distribution via optical fibre is one of the most commercially-advanced. The National Physical Laboratory is developing traceable performance metrology for the quantum devices used in these technologies. This is part of a broader effort to develop metrological techniques and standards to accelerate the development and commercial uptake of new industrial quantum communication technologies based on single photons. This presentation will give an overview of the work carried out at NPL and within the wider European community, and highlight plans for the future.

Research in the Quantum Communications and Networking Project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) focuses on developing quantum devices and studying them for use in quantum communications and quantum networking applications. In this paper, we review parts of our research on quantum communications devices and introduce the case for the development of metrology tools and testbeds for quantum network systems.
