Precise Earth-based measurements of optical signals from satellite show that equipment already in space can be adapted for extremely secure data encryption -- ScienceDaily

In a new study, researchers demonstrate ground-based measurements of quantum states sent by a laser aboard a satellite 38,000 kilometers above Earth. This is the first time that quantum states have been measured so carefully from so far away.

“We were quite surprised by how well the...
