Abstract: Quantum sources and receivers operating on-board satellites are an essential building block for global quantumnetworks. SpooQy-1 is a satellite developed at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, which has successfully demonstrated the operation of an entangled photon pair source on a resource-constrained CubeSat platform. This miniaturized and ruggedized photon pair source is being upgraded to be capable of space-to-ground quantum keydistribution and long-range entanglement distribution. In this paper, we share results from SpooQy-1, discuss their relevance for the engineering challenges of a small satellite quantum node, and report on the development of the new light source.

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.

Entanglement transfer, accumulation and retrieval via quantum-walk-based qubit-qudit dynamics [50.591267188664666]
Generation and control of quantum correlations in high-dimensional systems is a major challenge in the present landscape of quantum technologies. We propose a protocol that is able to attain entangled states of $d$-dimensional systems through a quantum-walk-based it transfer & accumulate mechanism. In particular, we illustrate a possible photonic implementation where the information is encoded in the orbital angular momentum and polarization degrees of freedom of single photons.
