Demonstration of a reconfigurable quantum network architecture suitable for ground-to-space communication
Stéphane Vinet, Duncan England, Chang-qing Xu +1
We experimentally demonstrate a reconfigurable quantum network architecture suitable for integrating satellite links in metropolitan quantum networks. The network architecture is d…
Towards Fully Passive Time-Bin Quantum Key Distribution over Moving Free-Space Channels
Ramy Tannous, Wilson Wu, Stéphane Vinet +4
Encoding quantum information in photonic time-bin states is typically considered impractical for moving free-space quantum communication due to the difficulties with phase stabiliz…
Emulation of satellite up-link quantum communication with entangled photons
Thomas Jaeken, Alexander Pickston, Faris Redza +2
Quantum communication rates in terrestrial quantum networks are fundamentally limited by fibre loss, even in the presence of quantum repeaters. Satellites offer a solution for long…
Feasibility study of frequency-encoded photonic qubits over a free-space channel
Stéphane Vinet, Wilson Wu, Yujie Zhang +1
Frequency-bin quantum encoding shows great promise for quantum communication given its high-dimensional scaling, compatibility with photonic integrated circuits and synergy with cl…
A reconfigurable entanglement distribution network suitable for connecting multiple ground nodes with a satellite
Stéphane Vinet, Ramy Tannous, Thomas Jennewein
Satellite-based quantum communication channels are important for ultra-long distances. Given the short duration of a satellite pass, it can be challenging to efficiently connect mu…
