Long Distance Photonic
Quantum Communication

QuComm

Technical Objectives
(from original application)

 

  • To scale experimental quantum communication protocols, notably quantum teleportation, entanglement swapping and entanglement quantum cryptography, towards longer distances, in particular to explore the physical resource of entangled states of multiple photons lacking a counterpart in classical physics.
  • To experimentally demonstrate quantum communication protocols for cryptographic applications in point-to-point and multiparty quantum cryptography, using entangled quantum states to achieve an increased level of security compared to faint-pulse quantum cryptography.
  • To validate optical quantum communication technologies in an application context through various field tests of the developed concepts and technologies.
  • To identify and transfer "spin off" results from quantum communication
    technologies to industries, or to industries-to-be, notably SMEs
    .
