• Abstract summary: We show that entanglement can yield a quantum advantage in clock synchronization over lossy satellite-to-satellite channels. We further show this recoverability is an improvement over single-mode squeezing sensing, thereby illustrating a new complexity-performance trade-off for space-based sensing applications.

• Abstract: Precision navigation and timing, very-long-baseline interferometry, next-generation communication, sensing, and tests of fundamental physics all require a highly synchronized network of clocks. With the advance of highly-accurate optical atomic clocks, the precision requirements for synchronization are reaching the limits of classical physics (i.e. the standard quantum limit, SQL). Efficiently overcoming the SQL to reach the fundamental Heisenberg limit can be achieved via the use of squeezed or entangled light. Although approaches to the Heisenberg limit are well understood in theory, a practical implementation, such as in space-based platforms, requires that the advantage outweighs the added costs and complexity. Here, we focus on the question: can entanglement yield a quantum advantage in clock synchronization over lossy satellite-to-satellite channels? We answer in the affirmative, showing that the redundancy afforded by the two-mode nature of entanglement allows recoverability even over asymmetrically lossy channels. We further show this recoverability is an improvement over single-mode squeezing sensing, thereby illustrating a new complexity-performance trade-off for space-based sensing applications.

For every quantum channel $T$ and every $eps>0$ there exists a threshold $p(epsilon,T)$ for the gate error probability below which rates larger than $C-epsilon$ are fault-tolerantly achievable. Our results are relevant in communication over large distances, and also on-chip, where distant parts of a quantum computer might need to communicate under higher levels of noise.

• Quantum repeaters in space [0.0]
  Long-distance entanglement is a very precious resource, but its distribution is difficult due to the exponential losses of light in optical fibres. We propose to combine quantum repeaters and satellite-based links, into a scheme that allows to achieve entanglement distribution over global distances. The integration of satellite-based links with ground repeater networks can be envisaged to represent the backbone of the future Quantum Internet.
