ESA Enlists Thales Alenia Space, Partners for Space-based Quantum Project

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales and Leonardo, has signed a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to lead the TeQuantS (technological development for space-based quantum resource distribution) project. TeQuantS is aimed at developing quantum space-to-Earth communications technologies. The contract, part of ESA’s ARTES 4.0 Core Competitiveness program element, is supported by French space agency CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) and Austrian space agency ALR. Satellites are today considered for long-distance quantum communications, since...Read full article

    quantum
    The term quantum refers to the fundamental unit or discrete amount of a physical quantity involved in interactions at the atomic and subatomic scales. It originates from quantum theory, a branch of physics that emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena observed on very small scales, where classical physics fails to provide accurate explanations. In the context of quantum theory, several key concepts are associated with the term quantum: Quantum mechanics: This is the branch of...
