Once demonstrated, the photon pair sources can be deployed on more advanced satellites that are equipped with optical links to establish a global space-based quantum key distribution network. In doing so, this work will also bring experimental tests of the overlap between quantum and relativistic regimes closer to realisation. © 2016 Bedington et al. | Source Title: | EPJ Quantum Technology | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/176110 | ISSN: | 2196-0763 | DOI: | 10.1140/epjqt/s40507-016-0051-7 |
