Objective
This vertical focuses on establishing secure and scalable quantum communication networks across various platforms, ensuring long-distance secure communication. The specific objectives include:
Developing Satellite-Based Quantum Communication
Establish satellite-assisted secure quantum communication between ground stations over 2000 km within India and internationally.
Implementing Inter-City QKD Networks
Deploy quantum key distribution (QKD) networks over 2000 km with trusted nodes using wavelength division multiplexing over existing optical fiber infrastructure.
Building Multi-Node Quantum Networks
Develop entanglement-based quantum networks with quantum memories, entanglement swapping, and synchronized quantum repeaters.
Enhancing Quantum Cryptography
Strengthen security through QKD protocols, post-quantum cryptographic techniques, and efficient key management systems.
Exploring Free-Space Quantum Communication
Develop free-space optical communication for secure data transmission in urban and remote areas.
Photon Sources and Detectors
Advance single-photon sources, entangled photon sources, and highly efficient detectors to improve quantum communication systems.
