Role of Quantum Noise and Entanglement in Free-Space Optical Communications

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Fundamental photonic granularity of light embedded in its quantum state can instill new features in free-space optical communications. Photon number-phase uncertainty enables physical-layer security, whereas entangled photons allow key generation between link terminals. Article not available.
