Entanglement Management in Space-Based Quantum Information Networks

Abstract

With the evolution of quantum computing, quantum sensing and secure quantum communication protocols, the demand for global development of Quantum Information Networks (QIN) has become crucial. Satellites play an indispensable role in enabling connectivity across vast distances, transcending terrestrial limitations. In this article, we explore various ways in which satellites may be involved in the deployment of these novel networks from their integration into the network architecture to the challenges they face.
