Photonics4Future Webinar | "Aircraft-to-ground entanglement-based quantum key distribution"

The "Photonics4Future" webinar series offers exclusive insights into research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF. Once a month, researchers present their latest technology highlights in a livestream.

Topic of this lecture:

"Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers secure sharing of secret keys backed by the laws of physics, particularly utilizing single photons. This presentation explores aircraft-to-ground entanglement-based QKD. It addresses the challenges typically faced in multi-platform QKD, such as channel loss, polarization alignment, synchronization issues and large background noise, while proposing innovative solutions. The seminar will also showcase the flight scenario in the QuNet-SE3 demonstration and its latest advancements in technology."
(Presented by: Dr. Christopher Spiess, Team lead "Quantum Crypto Systems" at Fraunhofer IOF)

Photonics4Future: Practical knowledge for the optics and photonic industry

Fraunhofer IOF launched its "Photonics4Future" webinar series in September 2024 to give decision-makers from the optics and photonics industry exclusive insights into the institute's current research and its practical applications. Due to high demand, the series will be continued in 2025.

In addition to high-end technologies, Fraunhofer IOF presents its extensive know-how along the entire photonic process chain with "Photonics4Future" - from the design of optical components and systems to their production and system integration. At the same time, the series offers all participants the unique opportunity to gain practical knowledge directly from the institute's leading scientists and to exchange ideas with them.

The live presentations take place every second Thursday of the month, from 2:00 – 2:45 p.m. Interested parties can join online via Microsoft TEAMS without registering in advance. Participation is free of charge.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
