Seminar

Abstract: Quantum Communications in Space combines the most fundamental level of communications (QComms) with the largest possible scale (space links). It is the very challenging as well to attractive the possibilities offered. Padua group is active in this research subject since the early steps, in 2003, and has carried several first demonstrations since. In the talk, I will describe the role of the different degrees of freedom of light in the encoding of qubits. Different experimental results will be used to assess their feasibility. The perspective of scientific avenues for quantum communications in space will also be described. Finally, an overview of applications in the context of quantum information will be offered.
