Quantum Space Communication

Advancing Satellite-Based Quantum Communications with AUREA Technology

Quantum communication via terrestrial optical fiber networks is constrained to a few hundred kilometers due to fiber attenuation. For long-haul quantum communications and networking, satellite-based quantum communication is emerging as the most viable and scalable solution.

Since 2020, AUREA Technology has been at the forefront of developing key photonic building blocks for satellite-based quantum communication, collaborating on projects supported by the French Space Agency (CNES) and the European Space Agency (ESA).

The IQUPHOS project focuses on designing a multi-channel BBM92 entangled photon source and simulating its LEO (Low Earth Orbit) space-to-ground optical transmission. 

The TEQUANTS project aims to develop next-generation quantum technologies for future quantum networks. AUREA Technology is responsible for designing GHz single-photon counting detectors for Optical Ground Stations and developing a satellite-based entangled photon source.

By pioneering space Quantum communications and networking, AUREA Technology is shaping the future of global quantum communication networks.
