The European Satellite-Based QKD System EAGLE-1
Thomas Hiemstra, David Hasler, Domenico Paone +3
The satellite mission EAGLE-1 represents an important step towards a future pan-European secure quantum key distribution (QKD) network. The public-private partnership behind the mi…
On orbit performance of the GRACE Follow-On Laser Ranging Interferometer
Klaus Abich, Claus Braxmaier, Martin Gohlke +80
The Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI) instrument on the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) Follow-On mission has provided the first laser interferometric range measur…
Quantum-limited measurements of optical signals from a geostationary satellite
Kevin Günthner, Imran Khan, Dominique Elser +13
The measurement of quantum signals that traveled through long distances is of fundamental and technological interest. We present quantum-limited coherent measurements of optical si…
Satellite Quantum Communication via the Alphasat Laser Communication Terminal
Dominique Elser, Kevin Günthner, Imran Khan +12
By harnessing quantum effects, we nowadays can use encryption that is in principle proven to withstand any conceivable attack. These fascinating quantum features have been implemen…
