- Abstract: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Deep Space Quantum Link
mission concept enables a unique set of science experiments by establishing
robust quantum optical links across extremely long baselines. Potential mission
configurations include establishing a quantum link between the Lunar Gateway
moon-orbiting space station and nodes on or near the Earth. In this
publication, we summarize the principal experimental goals of the Deep Space
Quantum Link mission. These include long-range teleportation, tests of
gravitational coupling to quantum states, and advanced tests of quantum
nonlocality.
