Thales: signs contract for TeQuantS quantum project

(CercleFinance.com) - Thales Alenia Space and its partners have announced the signing of a contract, with the ESA, for the TeQuantS quantum communications project.


The project aims to develop space-to-Earth quantum communications technologies for cyber security applications and future Internet development.

The use of satellites is currently considered the best option for long-distance quantum communications, as terrestrial optical fibres can only transmit quantum information directly at a distance of about 150 kilometres, Thales says.
