Fading channel estimation for free-space continuous-variable secure quantum communication

László Ruppert, Christian Peuntinger, Bettina Heim +6

We investigate estimation of fluctuating channels and its effect on security of continuous-variable quantum key distribution. We propose a novel estimation scheme which is based on…

Stabilization of transmittance fluctuations caused by beam wandering in continuous-variable quantum communication over free-space atmospheric channels

Vladyslav C. Usenko, Christian Peuntinger, Bettina Heim +6

Transmittance fluctuations in turbulent atmospheric channels result in quadrature excess noise which limits applicability of continuous-variable quantum communication. Such fluctua…

Space QUEST mission proposal: Experimentally testing decoherence due to gravity

Siddarth Koduru Joshi, Jacques Pienaar, Timothy C. Ralph +42

Models of quantum systems on curved space-times lack sufficient experimental verification. Some speculative theories suggest that quantum properties, such as entanglement, may exhi…

High-Dimensional Intra-City Quantum Cryptography with Structured Photons

Alicia Sit, Frédéric Bouchard, Robert Fickler +11

Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises information-theoretically secure communication, and is already on the verge of commercialization. Thus far, different QKD protocols have bee…

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…

Attacks on practical quantum key distribution systems (and how to prevent them)

Nitin Jain, Birgit Stiller, Imran Khan +3

With the emergence of an information society, the idea of protecting sensitive data is steadily gaining importance. Conventional encryption methods may not be sufficient to guarant…
