Quantum Communications for Space Applications: An Introduction to Practical Instrumentation and Principles
About the Quantum Communications training
Description

In the era of information, securing communications against the ever-evolving threat landscape is paramount. Quantum communication, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, promises unprecedented security, potentially safeguarding the future of data transmission, including in the vast expanse of space. This workshop delves into quantum communication , especially for space missions, where the integrity and security of transmitted data are more and more important. This three-hour online training session introduces the fundamental concepts and applications of quantum communications within the space sector.

In this 3 hours on-line session, attendees will :

Designed for professionals with a general scientific background rather than specialists in quantum mechanics, this course aims to demystify quantum communications and explore its potential advantages and challenges in space exploration and operations
