The aim of this project is to look into the development of entangled photon sources for applications to quantum communications, such as quantum key distribution using entanglement based protocols. The focus will on free space quantum communications. This includes terrestrial communication systems as well as deployment on CubeSats for long range satellite based communications. Satellite based systems require reducing the SWaP requirements, which may include replacing bulk optics with waveguided and more integrated optical systems. They also require durability and the ability to operate in space environment, so this will be taken into account in the development and testing of sources. This project should also include developing and working with existing software to model the performance of any systems built in the lab.

这个项目的目的是研究纠缠光子源在量子通信中的应用，例如使用基于纠缠的协议进行量子密钥分发。重点将放在自由空间量子通信上。这包括地面通信系统以及在CubeSats上部署用于基于卫星的远程通信。基于卫星的系统需要降低交换要求，这可能包括用波导式和更集成的光学系统取代大宗光学系统。它们还需要耐久性和在空间环境中工作的能力，因此在开发和测试污染源时将考虑到这一点。该项目还应包括开发和使用现有软件，以模拟实验室中构建的任何系统的性能。
