Quantum key transmission from the air to the ground
Quantum key transmission from the air to the ground
Using the external part of the laser terminal on the DLR Dornier 228-212 research aircraft, researchers succeeded for the first time in 2011 to transmit a quantum key from a fast-moving object. In the successful experiment conducted by the DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation in cooperation with the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich, the quantum data was sent from an aircraft to a ground station via a laser beam.
