Continuous variable quantum key distribution channel emulator for the SPOQC mission
Emma Tien Hwai Medlock, Vinod N. Rao, Ry Render +2
In a free space optical (FSO) communication link from satellite to ground, the losses in the channel will be dynamic. Thus, the characterization of the FSO channel is of great impo…

Energy efficient optical tracking for space quantum communication
Eric Vokes, Vinod N. Rao, Elinore Spencer +1
Power consumption is a critical constraint for CubeSat based quantum communication, where tracking systems often dominate the onboard power budget. We demonstrate an energy-efficie…

Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution with Single Quadrature Measurement at Arbitrary Reference Frame
Vinod N. Rao, Emma Tien Hwai Medlock, Timothy Spiller +1
We propose a simplified measurement scheme for a Gaussian modulated coherent state (GMCS) protocol for continuous variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD), utilizing homodyne det…
