Entanglement demonstration on board a nano-satellite

Global quantum networks for secure communication can be realized using large fleets of satellites distributing entangled photon pairs between ground-based nodes. Because the cost of a satellite depends on its size, the smallest satellites will be most cost-effective. This Letter describes a miniaturized, polarization entangled, photon-pair source operating on board a nano-satellite. The source violates Bell’s inequality with a Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt parameter of 2.60 ± 0.06 . This source can be combined with optical link technologies to enable future quantum communication nano-satellite missions.

Research on the model of quantum satellite communications based on the distribution of entangled three-photon pairs and simulation

Lin Zhang, Min Nie

In order to construct global quantum communication networks, we proposed the model of quantum satellite communications based on the distribution of entangled three-photon pairs. The entangled three-photon pairs are distributed to quantum ground stations, users, and satellites by an entangled photons preparation center. By performing a Bell-state measurement, the quantum communication links between different users is established first. The scheme of quantum repeating satellite based on the model is discussed and user splicing signaling process is presented then. The throughput of the system is analyzed. Simulation results show that the throughput of the system can help us to achieve long-distance quantum communications. Therefore, it can be used to build a global quantum communication network.

Long-distance quantum communication with entangled photons using satellites

The use of satellites to distribute entangled photon pairs (and single photons) provides a unique solution for long-distance quantum communication networks. This overcomes the principle limitations of Earth-bound technology, i.e., the range of the order of 100 km afforded by both optical fiber and by terrestrial free-space links.
