- Abstract: It has recently been theoretically shown that Quantum Memories (QM) could
enable truly global quantum networking when deployed in space thereby
surpassing the limited range of land-based quantum repeaters. Furthermore, QM
in space could enable novel protocols and long-range entanglement and
teleportation applications suitable for Deep-Space links and extended scenarios
for fundamental physics tests. In this white paper we will make the case for
the importance of deploying QMs to space, and also discuss the major technical
milestones and development stages that will need to be considered.
