- Title:
- A university team's on-going journey in building a space-based quantum network
- Description:
-
In 2020, my research team at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (Singapore), reported the in-orbit production of polarization entangled photon pairs on board a very small satellite called SpooQy-1. I will discuss the design of the satellite, the results we obtained and share some reflections of how a small academic team could achieve this. In this talk, I will also discuss our plans for the following years, and provide an update on the optical ground station that we have built for optical communication with satellites.
