Abstract

The sharing of qubits along links in Space emerged as a novel arena for realizing experiments on the fundamental aspects of Quantum Mechanics as well as a tool for implementing the protocols of Quantum Communications. The test of Bell's inequalities [1] and the wave-particle duality [2] are some of the most recent examples of the first aspect, while the intercontinental QKD [3] and teleportation on a satellite [4] are remarkable findings of the second one. All these results were achieved using satellites in Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO), orbiting at an altitude of about 500 km.
