Quantum satellites: safeguarding space-based communication networks. This project aims to address the fundamental challenges of developing quantum communication technology in space by performing space qualification of quantum technologies and optimising quantum-key distribution protocols for space applications. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of long-distance quantum key distribution based on continuous variables providing Australia with secure information networks.

This project aims to address the fundamental challenges of developing quantum communication technology in space by performing space qualification of quantum technologies and optimising quantum-key distribution protocols for space applications. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of long-distance quantum key distribution based on continuous variables providing Australia with secure information networks. Expected outcomes of the project include licensing of key patents in building a quantum toolkit for space applications, establishment of collaboration across research institutes and disciplines, defence organisations and industry partners.Read moreRead less

Summary
Quantum entanglement using slow-light-enhanced nonlinearity. The project will develop the fundamental science for creating quantum entanglement in micro- and nano-scale photonic devices so that thousands of these devices can be placed onto a single chip. This is the key to building practical quantum technologies that will make communications much more secure and computations many times faster.
