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…
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…
