Resources for Satellite-Based Quantum Communication Networks

Quantum mechanics-based computing offers revolutionary solutions in several fields including communications. Different out-of-laboratory experiments demonstrated the feasibility of the wired-based quantum communication networks and several free-space experiments have been performed. The next step will be a satellite-based quantum network, which will allow global secure communications. In our paper, we describe the requirements for such network and detail our results on a novel, entanglement-based satellite quantum communication network.
