Abstract

We describe a new laser transmission cabin built at Universidad de los Andes for long-term experiments in the classical and quantum domains. Initial trials with optical vortices and quantum states detection over 1 km are presented. Full-text article not available; see video presentation

Space-QUEST: quantum physics and quantum communication in space

Rupert Ursin, Thomas D. Jennewein, Anton Zeilinger

Fundamental quantum optics test as well as quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation are based on the distribution of single quantum states and quantum entanglement respectively. We will discuss recent experimental achievements in the field of long-distance quantum communication via optical fiber as well as in free-space over a record breaking distance of 144 km. The European Space Agency (ESA) has supported a range of studies in the field of quantum physics and quantuminformation science in space for several years, and consequently a mission proposal Space-QUEST Quantum Entanglement for Space Experiments was submitted to the European Life and Physical Sciences in Space Program. This proposal envisions to perform space-to-ground quantum communication tests from the International Space Station (ISS) and will presented in this article.
