ESA will help develop secure quantum communications
ESA is supporting secure quantum communication by working with satellite manufacturer Thales Alenia Space to develop highly secure technologies based on the laws of quantum physics.
The European Space Agency (ESA) supports secure quantum communication by working with satellite manufacturer Thales Alenia Space to develop highly secure technologies based on the laws of quantum physics. The TeQuantS project aims to develop quantum space-to-Earth communications technologies for cybersecurity applications and future quantum information networks. The work is supported by the French space agency (CNES) and the Austrian space agency (ALR).
