Long-Distance Quantum Communication with Entangled Photons using Satellites

preprint2003arXivOpen access

Abstract

The use of satellites to distribute entangled photon pairs (and single photons) provides a unique solution for long-distance quantum communication networks. This overcomes the principle limitations of Earth-bound technology, i.e. the narrow range of some 100 km provided by optical fiber and terrestrial free-space links.
