We present the results of a feasibility study on the application of optical quantum communication links to a GNSS network with reference to the Galileo architecture. As a particularly relevant case, we derive specifications for an inter-satellite QKD network and evaluate its expected performance in terms of achievable key lengths.

Abstract
We present the results of a feasibility study on the application of optical quantum communication links to a GNSS network with reference to the Galileo architecture. As a particularly relevant case, we derive specifications for an inter-satellite QKD network and evaluate its expected performance in terms of achievable key lengths.File in questo prodotto:
