Quantum Communication Satellite Under Design. By 2021, United Kingdom engineers with a team from Singapore, aim to place a quantum-communication satellite in orbit. This report
Quantum Communications Satellite Commercialization. Heriot-Watt University researchers are developing a fully-autonomous and low-cost quantum-key distribution (QKD) satellite receiver. This report is found at HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY…
Essential Elements of Scaling Quantum Computers. Topological photonics: Don’t require strong magnetic fields; are highly coherent; operate at room-temperature; easily manipulated. This report is found
Japanese industry research and development teams have enabled a quantum key distribution (QKD) network over a distance of 7 kilometers with a speed over 10 Mbps.
In a first for the United States, a private firm, Quantum Xchange, has launched a quantum key distribution service. Expected to serve the Northeast from D.C. to Boston, the network will be connecting Wall Street with financial operations in New Jersey. The network model is to provide quantum keys on demand; making QKD available to many economic sectors.
The concept of Alice and Bob communicating is back in the spotlight with quantum key distribution added to it. This team from the University of York developed a process which involves displacing the data detectors – the point where information must be read – to a location separate from the sender and receiver. Doing so reduces probability of a hacker attacking the device. See the layperson’s article at ScienceDaily and the original study at the Cornell University Library site.
Arquably, quantum computers could break blockchain encryption. However, a group of scientists at the Russian Quantum Center in Moscow believe they have a solution. The importance to world economies is growing as one of blockchain’s most visible uses is Bitcoin.
Quantum key distribution (QKD), a method of distributing secret keys between two parties, is possible – today – in enabling perfect secrecy between two-parties. Researchers have recently shown this ability to maintain perfect secrecy over fiber-optic wires
In the next ten years, the notion of quantum supremacy will have likely been attained, and further, quantum computing will have begun to crack data encryption of the prolific types in use today.
