QDrone – Simulation of Free-Space Quantum Communication Using Drones
Free-space optical communication (FSOC) is considered a key enabling technology for future quantum communication networks. To better understand the physical foundations of this technology, the FHNW, in collaboration with GA-Synopta, is developing a mobile drone platform that investigates atmospheric disturbances in the context of quantum communication – cost-efficient, flexible, and practice-oriented.
QHAPS – Simulation of Satellite-Based Quantum Communication Using Stratospheric Balloons
Future-proof communication systems increasingly rely on quantum communication – for example, through optical links between satellites and ground stations. To test this technology under realistic conditions, FHNW, in collaboration with GA-Synopta, is developing a balloon-based platform that simulates near-Earth orbit conditions. Stratospheric balloons (High-Altitude Platforms, HAPS) offer a unique and cost-efficient alternative to satellite missions.
