Funded Activity Summary

Quantum repeater technologies for continuous variable. It is often said that quantum mechanics will revolutionise 21st century technologies in the same way as Maxwell's electromagnetic theory did in the 20th century. Amongst these technologies, quantum information, and more precisely quantum communication techniques are expected to revolutionise telecommunication systems, both in terms of security and capabilities. A near term application of quantum communication, that is already semi-commercial, is Quantum Key Distribution, a novel cryptographic method whose absolute security is ensured by the laws of physics. The range of transmission of these quantum communication protocols, however, is currently limited, a limitation that this proposal aims at alleviating.
