Abstract: Global quantum networks for secure communication can be realised using large fleets of satellites distributing entangled photon-pairs between ground-based nodes. Because the cost of a satellite depends on its size, the smallest satellites will be most cost-effective. This paper describes a miniaturised, polarization entangled, photon-pair source operating on board a nano-satellite. The source violates Bell's inequality with a CHSH parameter of 2.6 $\pm$ 0.06. This source can be combined with optical link technologies to enable future quantum communication nano-satellite missions.

Microsatellite-based real-time quantum key distribution [36.9589130051099]
A quantum satellite constellation offers a solution to facilitate the quantum network on a global scale. We develop a quantum microsatellite capable of performing space-to-ground quantum key distribution (QKD) using portable ground stations. We achieve the sharing of up to 0.59 million bits of secure keys during a single satellite pass.

A reconfigurable entanglement distribution network suitable for connecting multiple ground nodes with a satellite [0.0]
In a brief satellite pass, the ground network is configured as a multipoint-to-point topology where all ground nodes establish entanglement with a satellite receiver. During times when this satellite is not available, the satellite up-link is rerouted via a single optical switch to the ground nodes. We numerically simulate a pulsed hyper-entangled photon source and study the performance of the proposed network configurations for quantum key distribution.

Satellite-based photonic quantum networks are small-world [0.9176056742068814]
We study the properties of the photonic networks that can be generated by satellite-based quantum communication. We predict that satellites can generate small-world networks, implying that physically distant nodes are actually near from a network perspective. This puts satellite-based quantum communication as the most promising technology to distribute entanglement across large distances in quantum networks of growing size and complexity.

Integrating LEO Satellite and UAV Relaying via Reinforcement Learning for Non-Terrestrial Networks [51.05735925326235]
A mega-constellation of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites has the potential to enable long-range communication with low latency. We study the problem of forwarding packets between two faraway ground terminals, through an LEO satellite selected from an orbiting constellation. To maximize the end-to-end data rate, the satellite association and HAP location should be optimized. We tackle this problem using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with a novel action dimension reduction technique.
