Public Lecture: Quantum Communications Networks

Quantum communication offers the best possible security of any communication system. Its security is based on the fact that a quantum state of light cannot be copied. We use this property to ensure that  the message can be read by only the intended recipient (find out how in the talk). The very fact that it cannot be copied means that it difficult to build large scale networks when there is a chance that the signal is lost in transmission. So how do we build large scale quantum networks? This talk, given by Hub investigator Siddarth Joshi and organised by IET Coventry and Warwickshire, will introduce you to entanglement and how we use this mysterious quantum phenomena to build a city wide quantum network.

Important information

Thank you for your interest in the work of the Quantum Communications Hub (2014-2024). The project is now complete but you can still explore all our resources on this website. You can also download our legacy report through this link

Information on the Hub’s SPOQC quantum cubesat mission, scheduled to launch in 2025, can be accessed in this section, but please note that this website will no longer be updated with new content. Information around the launch of the mission will be publicised through press releases.
