International Astronautical Federation | IAF SCAN Webinar on Perspectives of Satellite-Based Quantum Communications @iafastro | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 minutes ago.
Quantum communications is a rapidly developing field, offering a range of solutions that can be applied to space communications. Since the launch of the world's first quantum communications satellite, a growing number of actors have been looking at how satellites can be used to communicate securely and how they can be used to build the quantum internet of the future. With the help of our speakers, we will look at the present and future of satellite-based quantum communications.
About the International Astronautical Federation (IAF):
Founded in 1951, the International Astronautical Federation is the world’s leading space advocacy body. The IAF has 513 members from 78 countries, including all leading space agencies, companies, societies, associations and institutes worldwide. Following its theme - “A space-faring world cooperating for the benefit of humanity” and its motto "Connecting @ll Space People for a Sustainable Future" - the Federation advances knowledge about space and fosters the development and application of space assets by advancing global cooperation. As organizer of the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC), and other meetings on specific subjects, the IAF actively encourages the development of space for peaceful purposes and supports the dissemination of scientific and technical information related to space.
About the IAF SCAN:
The IAF Space Communications and Navigation Committee (IAF SCAN) addresses all aspects of space-based systems, services, applications, and technologies for communication and navigation. This includes fixed, broadcast, high-throughput, mobile, optical, and quantum communication, and position, velocity, and time determination and tracking for navigation.
