Enhanced Simultaneous Quantum-Classical Communications Under Composable Security
Nicholas Zaunders, Ziqing Wang, Robert Malaney +2
Simultaneous quantum-classical communications (SQCC) protocols are a family of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) protocols which allow for quantum and classical…
Stokes Parameters and Dual Classical-Quantum Signaling
Anjali Dhiman, Ziqing Wang, Timothy C. Ralph +2
Catering to emerging satellite-based free-space optical (FSO) communication networks and exploiting polarization encoding via Stokes operators, we propose a novel simultaneous quan…
Exploiting Spatial Diversity in Earth-to-Satellite Quantum-Classical Communications
Ziqing Wang, Timothy C. Ralph, Ryan Aguinaldo +1
Despite being an integral part of the vision of quantum Internet, Earth-to-satellite (uplink) quantum communications have been considered more challenging than their satellite-to-E…
Classical and Quantum Frequency Combs for Satellite-based Clock Synchronization
Ronakraj K. Gosalia, Ryan Aguinaldo, Jonathan Green +3
The next generation of space-based networks will contain optical clocks embedded within satellites. To fully realize the capabilities of such clocks, high-precision clock synchroni…
Quantum-Amplified Simultaneous Quantum-Classical Communications
Nicholas Zaunders, Ziqing Wang, Timothy C. Ralph +2
Classical free-space optical (FSO) communication promises massive data throughput rates relative to traditional wireless technologies - an attractive outcome now being pursued in t…
Classical-Quantum Dual Encoding for Laser Communications in Space
Matthew S. Winnel, Ziqing Wang, Robert Malaney +3
In typical laser communications classical information is encoded by modulating the amplitude of the laser beam and measured via direct detection. We add a layer of security using q…
