Optical payload design for downlink quantum key distribution and keyless communication using CubeSats
Pedro Neto Mendes, Gonçalo Lobato Teixeira, David Pinho +6
Quantum key distribution is costly and, at the moment, offers low performance in space applications. Other more recent protocols could offer a potential practical solution to this…
Propagating Quantum Microwaves: Towards Applications in Communication and Sensing
Mateo Casariego, Emmanuel Zambrini Cruzeiro, Stefano Gherardini +22
The field of propagating quantum microwaves has started to receive considerable attention in the past few years. Motivated at first by the lack of an efficient microwave-to-optical…
Third law of thermodynamics and the scaling of quantum computers
Lorenzo Buffoni, Stefano Gherardini, Emmanuel Zambrini Cruzeiro +1
The third law of thermodynamics, also known as the Nernst unattainability principle, puts a fundamental bound on how close a system, whether classical or quantum, can be cooled to…
Cold Atoms in Space: Community Workshop Summary and Proposed Road-Map
Ivan Alonso, Cristiano Alpigiani, Brett Altschul +246
We summarize the discussions at a virtual Community Workshop on Cold Atoms in Space concerning the status of cold atom technologies, the prospective scientific and societal opportu…
Noise in optical quantum memories based on dynamical decoupling of spin states
Emmanuel Zambrini Cruzeiro, Florian Fröwis, Nuala Timoney +1
Long-lived optical quantum memories are of great importance for scalable distribution of entanglement over remote networks (e.g. quantum repeaters). Long-lived storage generally re…
