    Project Details

    Description

    This project aims to address the fundamental challenges of developing quantum communication technology in space by performing space qualification of quantum technologies and optimising quantum key distribution protocols for space applications. This research expects to provide Australia with future-proof secure information networks. The expected benefits include generating new knowledge in the area of long-distance quantum key distribution based on continuous variables, laying the foundation for next-generation space communication technologies, enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration across research institutions, defence, and industry partners; and placing Australia in a leading position in the global race of space quantum technologies.
