helpful on earlier versions of this Abstract: The ability to measure, hold and distribute time with high precision and accuracy is a foundational capability for scientific exploration. Beyond fundamental science, time synchronisation is an indispensable feature of public and private communication, navigation and ranging, and distributed sensing, amongst others technological applications. We propose the implementation of a quantum network of satellite- and ground-based clocks with the ability to…

Towards satellite-based quantum-secure time transfer

Transmitting the time signal and generating the secure key with the same carrier photon improves the security of a satellite-based quantum-secure time transfer protocol, which uses two-way quantum key distribution.

Remote quantum clock synchronization without synchronized clocks

Ebubechukwu Ilo-Okeke and colleagues show that when the parties are out of sync the purification generates states that account for the discrepancy and then can be used for synchronisation, which closes the loophole for entanglement based quantum clock synchronization protocols.

Ground-to-satellite quantum teleportation

The demonstration of a ground-to-satellite uplink for reliable and ultra-long-distance quantum teleportation is an essential step towards a global-scale quantum internet.

Demonstration of a trapped-ion atomic clock in space.

Atomic clocks, which lock the frequency of an oscillator to the extremely stable quantized energy levels of atoms, are essential for navigation applications such as deep space exploration1 and global…

Clock synchronization by remote detection of correlated photon pairs

In this study, we present an algorithm to detect the time and frequency differences of independent clocks based on observation of time-correlated photon pairs. This enables remote coincidence…

Spooky action at a global distance: analysis of space-based entanglement distribution for the quantum internet

This work proposes a global-scale quantum internet consisting of a constellation of orbiting satellites that provides a continuous, on-demand entanglement distribution service to ground stations that can also function as untrusted nodes for the purpose of long-distance quantum-key distribution.

Weak gravitational field effects on large-scale optical interferometric Bell tests

The technological refinement of experimental techniques has recently allowed the generation of two-photon polarization-entangled states at low Earth orbit, which has been subsequently applied to…

A perspective on industrial quantum networks

Results indicate that a time-sensitive network control plane design is feasible, and its pros and cons are discussed.

Symmetrical Clock Synchronization with Time-Correlated Photon Pairs

We demonstrate a distance-independent clock synchronization protocol, using counter-propagating photons from spontaneous parametric down-conversion pair sources, secure against symmetric-delay…

On approaching the ultimate limits of photon-efficient and bandwidth-efficient optical communication

It is well known that ideal free-space optical communication at the quantum limit can have unbounded photon information efficiency (PIE), measured in bits per photon. High PIE comes at a price of low…
