A quantum communication demonstration is proposed by Prof. A. Zeilinger group of University of Vienna as an ESA’s scientific mission onboard the Columbus module in the International Space Station (ISS), which is called SPACEQUEST. The quantum cryptography employing entangled photons is demonstrated using three optical ground stations in Europe. There is a possibility for Japan to join it as one of the optical ground stations for the quantum key distribution. In this paper, the overview of the SPACEQUEST project is introduced, and the research and development of space quantum cryptography communications in Japan is discussed. |
