This project aims to address the fundamental challenges of developing quantum communication technology in space by performing space qualification of quantum technologies and optimising quantum-key distribution protocols for space applications. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of long-distance quantum key distribution based on continuous variables providing Australia with secure information networks. Expected outcomes of the project include licensing of key patents in building a quantum toolkit for space applications, establishment of collaboration across research institutes and disciplines, defence organisations and industry partners.

该项目旨在通过对量子技术进行空间鉴定并优化空间应用的量子密钥分配协议来解决在太空中开发量子通信技术的基本挑战。该项目期望在基于连续变量的长距离量子密钥分发领域产生新知识，为澳大利亚提供安全的信息网络。该项目的预期成果包括为空间应用构建量子工具包的关键专利授权，跨研究机构和学科、国防组织和行业合作伙伴建立合作。
